The best of the best!! Loved this experience. The hotel upgraded our room at their own will without asking because the highest end suite was available. It was large, well appointed and bar none the most special hotel we’ve ever stayed in. The fact that this was one families private residence that had been converted to a hotel was interesting. We loved reading about the hotel and the renovation process. The Raman was spectacular, the restaurant fancy and the staff a 10!! We spent NYE here and enjoyed every minute of our time here.
