Very nice Historical Stay!

fine architecturegrand interiorfriendly staffreally good amenities
The architecture is fine and the grand interiors impressed me greatly. The staff was friendly, attending to every need with a smile. I particularly enjoyed the really good amenities and the variety of cuisines available. Everything from the spacious suites to the attentive service exceeded my expectations, I totally recommend it.
The tonic water for the gin and tonic was poured from a large plastic bottle, a minor detail that seemed out of place! I prefer tonic from an individual bottle.
