We stayed for one night in a 'club' room, dining and taking breakfast in the hotel. When booking the accommodation, the hotel itself only had £300+ rooms available, so we made the reservation through laterooms.com, who have a block booking with the hotel. We would recommend others to try this option, particularly as we were able to get a discount in the process.
Parking, which could otherwise have been a problem here, was greatly facilitated by the zealous attention of the doorman, who appeared out of nowhere as we drew up at the hotel and made a space available for us in front of our house. Our room was splendidly appointed but was unremittingly dark, only subdued lighting being available, and it was frustrating not to have the option of normal lighting when unpacking and dressing for dinner.
Dinner itself was disappointing. Presentation and service were to very high standards, but we found the food itself to be largely tasteless, neither preserving nor enhancing the flavour of the ingredients. We dine regularly at high quality restaurants, and have plenty to compare against.
A slightly harsh review, perhaps, given the efficient, relaxed and friendly service received at all times. However, compared to the best we have experienced elsewhere, the points noted just prevent us from rating the experience as 5-star.
