“My husband and I had the loveliest stay here. We were upgraded to one of the Spring Garden Suites, which were recently launched in February 2025. Everything was wonderful: our room was beautiful and tastefully decorated, the turn down service was so relaxing and thoughtful, the staff were really friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay here, 10/10!”
