Location was great, very safe, very quiet, very walkable. (We took the tram from the downtown area.) Loved the app to order breakfast pastries, and the in-room cutlery, plates, etc. It was great to order bake goods the night before and stay in our room for breakfast. Also absolutely loved the honor bar/goods section. We could get almost anything we wanted from there. ( Idea- add hard boiled eggs to selection maybe?) Room was fabulous! Very spacious, well decorated, and comfortable. The bathroom was a real dream! Loved the tub to soak it after a long day of walking.

The interior designer/decorator of this gorgeous hotel is brilliant. The lush textures, the thoughtful touches, rich colors and color palettes, the coziness, quiet luxury and beauty of each room and area was just perfection. You wanted to just melt into a velvet chair or take tea next to the huge windows overlooking the city or read a book on a plush sofa in some cozy corner. Beautiful.
