“There's an undeniable sense of occasion here, a feeling of stepping back into an era of true hospitality, especially noted in the gracious staff and the stunning reception spaces. While some areas might show their age, the newly refurbished rooms offer a luxurious comfort, and the standout breakfast makes a visit truly worthwhile. The pools, both indoor and out, are a welcome amenity, though the cocktail prices do give one pause.”
