The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Incredible Apartment Design

I stayed in a Superior Apartment and was blown away by the stunning architecture. The high ceilings and original windows added so much character to my stay. The spacious layout made it feel truly luxurious, and the modern furnishings were great. I particularly loved how clean everything was, and there were plenty of charging outlets next to the bed.

Tea Time Delight

During my stay, I was thrilled to find that there was a tea time event where I enjoyed sweets with the most amazing view from the 8th floor. The cakes were simply outstanding – I still dream about them! It's a lovely way to spend an afternoon and take in the beautiful surroundings.

Stylish Bathroom Amenities

The bathroom in my apartment was impressively designed, featuring both modern and vintage elements. I was especially taken with how the original windows were integrated into the shower area. It made the space feel unique and luxurious. The double sinks were also a nice touch, providing ample space.

Comfortable Sleeping Experience

I had an amazing night's sleep in my apartment's bedroom. The bedding was so soft, making it one of the most comfortable experiences I've ever had in a hotel. The room also had great natural light, which added to the overall calming atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back!
