Amazing building with wow-factor rooms!
Booked a fairly last minute king room for Valentine's day. It did not disappoint!! from walking into the amazing lobby to entering our room, there was the wow factor! Our greeting was extremely friendly and welcoming and throughout our stay, we were looked after very well, even with an impromptu small tour of some of the areas of the hotel which we would never have discovered on our own. This was followed up with an information book about the history of the building without even requesting it. The room was amazing! beautifully decorated in keeping with the original look and feel. The bed was comfortable and there was minimal noise able to be heard from the outside. Breakfast was buffet style but still served and the atrium was a beautiful setting to enjoy. overall, I would recommend and just wish we had a bit more time there. Will definitley be back.

Beautiful hotel
Fabulous. Got the cheapest room (lower ground) for a one nights stay. Room was lovely. Wished I could've stayed longer. Bathroom was amazing. Lovely toiletries. Fridge full of water and soft drinks. Nespresso machine and kettle. Even fresh milk, none of that little capfuls of uht rubbish. They had thought of everything. Breakfast was fantastic too. The building is so lovely. Lots of lovely little rooms so can find somewhere to sit with a quiet drink.
