Gorgeous hotel. A little far from downtown but trolley access is easy. Unique property, clean, great staff. Restaurant seems overpriced for what you get.

Even though I only stayed one night, the experience was amazing. Meticulous attention to detail, making my stay a very memorable one. The food is incredible, whether you choose to dine A La Carte or try one of their very well put together Degustacion menus. Great selection of wine and they take great deal of pride in presenting the local Bordeaux region, its wines and local delicacies. Highly recommended.
