"This hotel is a total gem! It's got such a warm and welcoming vibe, thanks to the old building and the cool modern art. The staff is super helpful, professional, and friendly, from check-in to housekeeping, bar, and restaurant. And speaking of the restaurant, the food is amazing! We had hot watermelon soup and beef tartare with raspberries, then trout, and finished with a poached peach. Almost everything is locally sourced, and the kitchen team is really skilled and creative with their ingredient combos. Such a great experience, we totally recommend you try it yourself. We'll be back!"
