“The Pullman Restaurant, set in restored Orient Express carriages, promises a unique dining experience, although some may find the food inconsistent with its high price point. The expansive grounds and proximity to the city offer both tranquility and convenience, but the standard of service can vary. It has the potential to be one of the best hotels, but improvements are needed in food and service to reach that level.”
