This hotel is exceptional! It is glam from the moment you walk in, and the staff is so nice. You honestly cannot beat this location! We are right on the square. The spa is so lush with the pool, slat cabin, sauna, and steam room. We enjoyed them all! Such a great spot to relax after a long day exploring in the city. The little side bar is also so cute and full of character, perfect for a night cap!

Spa area was great, very well managed and stylish ! The staff were excellent, they changed my room, took the time to accompany and see other rooms , always with a smile and joke !

The hotel feels so luxurious- beautiful rooms, deep bathtubs and the pool is so unique. Breakfast in the morning had a great selection or you could order a la carte.
