Each room is delicately furnished with premium cotton linen and luxurious bathrobes. The in-room technology offers Smart-TVs with on-demand streaming, an HD soundbar, Apple Airplay and free high-speed WiFi throughout. After a day of exploring, guests can unwind in the hotel's Bar and Garden which offer delicious signature cocktails, wines, beers and snacks. New in 2024: "Towser's Lounge", the hotel's dedicated Whiskey lounge with over 200 scotch whiskeys, hosts tastings most days as well as whiskeys by the dram and flights.
