I like the atmosphere of hotel. It is a landmark hotel. Maintains a touch of glamour.

beautiful view , clean room, wonderful staff/service

Loved the location with the harbour in front and almost every day, a cruise ship arriving to berth right in front. Also, the walk through the piers, especially Pier 21, and all along the harbour is spectacular and fun with all the performers, bars and cafes. All the staff were very friendly.

Loved the location. Very close to the Harbor and easily walkable to historic sites. On site Bar and restaurant. Friendly staff.
