“The Royce artfully nods to its past as a Rolls Royce showroom, a prestige subtly woven into its very fabric; its location, a deliberate remove from the CBD's intensity, places it near the serene Botanic Gardens. What stood out most was their seamless catering to specific dietary needs, a thoughtful touch often overlooked. For those seeking attentive service and refined charm, it's a memorable choice.”
