The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Brasserie Experience

During my stay, I dined at the Brasserie where I enjoyed breakfast. The selection was extensive, and the English breakfast was cooked perfectly. I was impressed by the high-quality food options, and the service was attentively swift. The atmosphere in the conservatory was bright and welcoming, making for a good start to my day. On one morning, we were even able to eat outside in the hotel's beautiful garden!
