All bedrooms are en suite and offer a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, combined with all the facilities required during your stay, including tea and coffee making facilities. Guests can enjoy dinner at Paco's, the hotel's à la carte restaurant, and the Sphinx Lounge Bar, with a bistro-style menu and panoramic views.
