Highs & Lows

  • The rooftop pool/garden/restaurant is enchanting with Kumquat trees and humming birds. And it’s restricted to members and hotel guests only, so it’s never a madhouse.

  • Friday night cabaret on the rooftop Masters Lounge is incredible. You have to catch Toledo’s show!

  • The location is perfect, pretty and quiet.

  • There’s a surprise around every corner - from the Olivia Steele neon artwork to the reception cookie jar, the bathroom/ATM ‘artwork’ and the outdoor rooftop fireplace…there’s a sense of true wonderment everywhere.

  • Rooms could do with a little refurb, but they’re huge.
