I originally wanted to book the Garden Suite after seeing it featured in a magazine, however it was not available. Luckily the recently opened Poolside Suite was available. Although pictures of this room were not on their website, they sent a description of it, which included its own private terrace with open log fire, original 1926 wallpaper, and an original George Nelson desk. Being a big design buff, I salivated and took the room. And let me tell you it exceeded my expectations. The suite is a large open plan space with the hugest floor to ceiling windows that lead on to a terrace that overlooks the beautiful garden and swimming pool that gets sun all day long. The enormous blinds and blackouts are remote controlled. Had a lot of fun opening this from the comfort of my own huge bed to let the morning light in. Every design feature is just so spot on and oozing personality. I booked a massage at the Spa upon arrival to shake off the flight stiffness, it was so good that I treated myself to 3 more during my stay. The breakfast is the most original I had in any hotel, with shots of fruit & herbs for juices, homemade marmalades & jams, and this incredible yogurt foam. Indeed, the food served at the hotel is simple and fresh, and possibly the best I had during my visit.
The attention to detail and service at this hotel are superb, the staff were super friendly, well informed and provided me with great recommendations. The little Home guide booklet is just genius, and very original as I had never encountered such in a hotel before. It contains info on restaurants, bars, what to do and what to see in a fun and sincere way, with many off the tourist radar ideas.
Home is truly a hotel with style AND content.
