Perfection

Divine from the first moment to the last. We stayed in a club luxury corner & it was worth every penny. From check in drinks on arrival, the beautiful pool + bar, canapé service & breakfast we were spoilt. The service was perfect, not stuffy but nothing was too munch trouble. Not to mention all the little extras that made the difference. Loved this hotel.

Lovely & pretty hotel with wonderful amenities. Walkable to stores, restaurants & sights. Unfortunately, there's a new building being built right in front of it which will affect its view to the waterfront. Otherwise, will definitely return to this hotel again.

I paid an extra $100 to upgrade to a room with a view over Jones Wharf. The room overlooked a construction site with Jones Wharf behind. Not worth an upgrade and they didn’t tell us this when we checked in. Very disappointing!!
