“Great ‘Grand Dame’ of a hotel sensitively upgraded in the most spectacular location.”
Room 304 has a spacious terrace and recently refurbished bathroom. Best room we have stayed in on what is probably our fifth visit.

“A perfect luxury escape in a beautiful part of the world.”
The place is wonderful. Open spacious room with fabulously comfortable bed with more pillows than you could ever need. I was offered a complimentary upgrade to the lake view with balcony. The bathroom had everything you needed and more. Lovely plush bathrobe with slippers. The valet service was also a bonus. I could easily move in and live here. I highly recommend this luxury hotel.
