Quite simply one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The history, decor, staff, location, furnishings, luxurious but relaxed feel... even the weather was perfect! Well worth spending the money - check the hotel's website for the best rates.

Fabulous location to a varity of local establishments and shops. The first step in this Hotel was a greating by the Doorman and Front office staff. Check-in was a dream.

The first room assignment was the most intersting I have ever had , it was right off the Grand Staircase, a beautifully decorated room, nice bath and amenities but for a 6'2" man a little cramped.

As Starwwood upgraded landed a wounderful room on street level facing the shops next door, for me I like here the street noise, with easy access to the lobby, dinning room and bar.

I must say that when I brought friends over for a pre dinner cocktail, they concluded that the bartender was one of the top ten martini makers in the world. Service was professional, timely and courtious.

The continental breakfast was delicious and more than enough to start the day.

As I indicated, the proximity to a local lambrith of shops, restuarants, wine shops, and local libation providers was a real gift with this location.

My two night stay could have been a month to remember. Stay here and enjoy.

This is now one of my top favourite hotels. It was pure luxury. The staff could not have been more helpful and the room was heaven. We ordered room service and the food was delicious, also the pay per view movies were great; 30 euros for all the movies you could watch in 24 hours. Breakfast had a good range. Just wish we'd had time to sample the high tea.Can't wait to visit again.....

I very rarely can be bothered to write a review or fill out one of those 'how do you rate your stay' cards, but I was so impressed and overwhelmed with the service and the quality of this hotel that I had to write an email to them when I got back to thank them for making our weekend so special. I have never seen such enthusiasm among the staff of the hotel they work for. Their genuine love of the building, its rich history and their willing ness to make sure we had a good stay was quite simply exceptional. We had a suite which was a lovely size, if anything the bathroom was a little small compared to the grand size room but really not a problem. Food was very good and served with the excellent service that seems to flow through every part of the hotel from the warm greeting on the door to the cosy little health spa in the basement. Basically, I can't remember a more pleasant, helpful and genuine collection of hotel employees in any hotel I have stayed at. Absolutely recommend.
