Staying at this magnificent property was a true luxury experience. The rooms were super spacious with beautiful decor, Italian Carrara marble, and very comfortable beds, making us feel like royalty. The staff was attentive and went above and beyond to make us feel special. However, the busy location and lobby could be a bit overwhelming at times.
