This intimate and stylish little hotel has been owned by successive generations of the same family for fifty years. In 2007 the hotel shut for extensive renovations and refurbishment with simply stunning results. Although priding itself on old-fashioned personal service, there is nothing staid or old-fashioned about the hotel. The public areas are open plan, cool, contemporary and with all the sophistication one would expect from a city centre bar and restaurant. Guests needing to keep in touch can use the WiFi Internet access, which is available throughout the hotel.
