We were expecting a 5 star experience and we received a 5 star experience. From the moment we stepped in & received the complimentary glass of Moet and our bags were whisked away to our room the experience met all expectations. The architecture is sublime, the service exemplary, the environment 1st class. I can fault nothing. Even the Northern Lights performed! (although I acknowledge that this is beyond the hotel's control!!). We stayed 2 nights, wish it had been 3. We stayed for our 30th anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better experience to celebrate.
