I love to go back in history at this grand hotel! The location, professional staff, incredible spaces, and saltwater pool are highlights, but the public spaces are so richly decorated and comfortable, I never have enough time to see it all, and I am already planning when to come back!

Overall, I have appreciated my stay. I got an upgrade to a bigger room with a view. I found the gym a bit outdated, but it was open 24 hours, and I enjoyed a few workouts during my visit. For the room itself, I particularly liked the walk-in closet and windows. The neighbours were noisy. With ear plugs, I was able to sleep.

Historic building with a great location. But… old building with historic space and room amenities (small & dated). Worth going once but that’s it.
