    Their bar is a highlight, boasting an impressive range of alcohols. One drink, in particular, infused with a rich flower flavor, was a revelation-it not only tasted exceptional but also uplifted my spirits.

    The hotel is a long historical one, rich of culture and style but was also recently renovated. This means a great combination of vibe, culture and comfort! Food is really great.
