“Right opposite Windsor Castle, this hotel balances location with high-end comfort; the interiors, designed by Amanda Rosa, create a luxurious experience. Dining options range from classic afternoon tea to an award-winning restaurant with seasonal, local ingredients and I particularly like the special attention given to canine guests with dog-friendly accommodations. While some rooms offer direct castle views, light sleepers might want to request a room away from any potential noise from nearby events.”
