    “You can't tell from the outside, but this is an impressive private club that also operates as a hotel. Large, beautiful suites that are elegant and fun with a slight touch of retro glamour. Beautiful courtyard, swimming pool, lovely breakfast, café, a large club room area on the fifth floor that has events, a cabaret, private viewing cinema room, and a gorgeous rooftop deck bar and excellent restaurant. Will definitely stay here again. VERY comfortable bed and remarkably quiet.”

  • Nice place, more for single business executive type people, not families.
