Architectural gem with rich history

generous storagepolite staffhelpful staffglass ceiling
The standard room included generous storage with a large built in wardrobe. The hotel is very well staffed. Everyone we met was polite and helpful. I found the lights in the dining room and the glass ceilings of the cocktail bar particularly excellent.
I noticed the hotel is a little tired, with tape covering rips in the carpet. the service from staff was perfect.
