“There's a palpable sense of history within the walls, an impressive Grade II listed building near Forbury Gardens, yet it aims for contemporary luxury. The private cinema and exclusive art throughout are a draw, though reports suggest some inconsistencies in service and upkeep. With some fine tuning, it could consistently deliver on its promise of a 5-star experience.”
