“There's a clear dedication to preserving an iconic heritage here, visible in the unique architecture and individually designed rooms; I imagine events, especially weddings, find a fitting backdrop within these walls. The in-house dining aims for high standards, though the experience seems variable; overall, one visits hoping to connect with a grander era.”
