The hotel was above and beyond most accommodation that I’ve been to. Staff and their service was excellent. They couldn’t do enough for us. The cleaniness over all was pristine. I would recommend anyone to experience this accommodation.

Stunning hotel a stones throw from all the action

The hotels renovation is stunning, French inspired and classy. For being so close to the city it was so quiet out on the balcony - over looking the school.
