I love this hotel. Great location. Beautiful rooms. It’s got a small more intimate feeling because it’s a boutique hotel. And some nights have lovely music in the lounge. It’s my new favourite hotel in Victoria. Also easy underground, parking and electric car charging.

We stayed for 3 nights for a birthday celebration. The room was clean and the kitchen was well equipt. The large tub was lovely. Walking distance to plenty of dining options as well as tasty food at the restaurant onsite. Live music was a great addition
