“I see a juxtaposition of luxury and potential disruption here. The rooftop bar and spa, sourcing ingredients from the hotel's own gardens, promise an indulgent escape, and its central location should be ideal for exploring the area's attractions. However, some reports of noise issues and inconsistent service raise concerns about whether the experience consistently matches the hotel's ambitions.”
