Simple hotel (light on amenities), very good location. Room was very clean, well styled, and comfortable bed. The bath tub/shower are raised up, so for mobility impaired people might be a challenge. The staff were exceptionally kind and courteous. Truly an outstanding experience.

Beautifully designed room by David Chipperfield Architects-the reason I booked my stay here! The property is historic and well maintained. No matter how wonder the facilities are though, the staff makes or breaks a stay. In this case, the staff made an incredible building even more so with excellent service from the doorman to the front desk staff to the cleaning staff and spa staff. They all took it upon themselves to make sure I was being taken care of during my stay. I am looking forward to a return visit soon!
