“I like that this hotel embraces its historical theme, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that extends to its unique rooftop dining with skyline views. The location puts you right in the heart of the action, with easy access to the peninsula's sights and markets, though getting dropped off can be tricky due to tram lines. Rooms are refreshed and stylish, and the spa services add a layer of relaxation to the experience.”
