This Hotel rivals any 5 star resort that I have stayed in the past. Very unique experience in an incredible historic mansion. My guest room was a loft room and the size of a small apartment. I was here for business but this room would have comfortably accommodated my family of 4. Food and drinks were all top notch along with the level of service. I really enjoyed how beautiful every room was in the building, the real fireplaces and the gorgeous detail everywhere. The bathrooms in my room were equally impressive, very clean and felt like I was in a home, not a hotel. The whole experience felt like living the royalty life for a few days. via Trip Advisor 2025
