This is not just a hotel, it is an experience. The staff is super, the restaurant is superb. I just have two constructive criticisms - the rooms need new mattresses (they were old, sagging and uncomfortable) and the wi-fi (which should be free) was too expensive to bother using. I will definitely book again but asking for a room with... More

I travel more than 100,000 miles a year. This is one of the best hotels I ever stayed in. Here is an old world, cultured, kind and caring still alive and well.
