    Couple's Retreat Worth Considering

    Had a blast with my partner celebrating a birthday there. They surprised him with a balloon and chocolates, that personal touch, you know?

    It cost a pretty penny, but for the memories, it felt alright.

    Fine decor and really good service

    I recently enjoyed a wonderful stay with amazing Art Deco architecture that encapsulated luxury. The staff were genuinely attentive, especially during breakfast in the Great Room, where the selection was delicious and beautifully presented. The room's lighting could be improved for a more comfortable reading experience.
