The hotel offers stunning views with open fireplaces in the rooms. The service is exceptional, covering all areas such as room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and even pet amenities. The location is breathtaking, right by the river in beautiful surroundings, although the hope for a dramatically better spa area fell short. The dining experience, highlighted by its poached egg dishes, is definitely a plus. However, the Chinese food could be improved.
