We are a family of 4 who stayed for 5 nights at the Chateau. We had a 2 bedroom suite and it was exactly as expected. The sense of history, nostalgia and ambience was wonderful. All of the staff we friendly and helpful. The gym was nop notch for a hotel of this size, and we had the gym daily to ourselves. Every piece of equipment that was in our existing routine was available. Our sons are 12 and 14, and they too loved the hotel and pool. They also enjoyed the peek a boo nude pics of the backs of the mirrors in the restaurant! The rooms were clean, fantastic kiehls ameneties in the bathroom. Beds were soft, large and very very confortable. If there was to be any critisim whatsoever it would be that you are not allowed to take photos in the hotel. Whist I appreciate privacy of other guests,( particularly given some of their clientele) I do think that taking general overview shots should be either allowed, or maybe the guests provided with a cd of pics pre approved by the hotel for personal usage?
If you are looking for somewhere with bling, and shine, this will not be for you. Expect an air of elegance, dim lighting, old grandeur.
The kitchen and bathroom are straight from the 30s, art deco style (original), and furniture to suit. I particularly was taken with the personalised stationery!
I have already booked to restay there this coming christmas, are very much looking forward to staying at our "Home away from home". Once you have worked out how to enter the hotel, you will have a great stay.
