While the property is beautiful the rooms are not $700 per night worthy. They are barren, bathrooms very tiny, air conditioning barely worked. The balcony was wonderful however we've started at other properties with balconies with views and have spent considerably less, even in high demand areas.

Awful experience staying in this hotel. It’s a fabulous location and beautiful building but that’s where it ends. The room was small and we were above the kitchen so the room smelt of burnt cooking oil. We did make the staff aware but they didn’t offer to move us and were really unhelpful. They made out they had no idea of the problem!! But we found other complaints about the same issue from other travellers and also the porter mentioned they had issues with smell in these rooms.

Outstanding hotel in every regard
Truly beautiful hotel in an amazing setting. The views are outstanding and the property offers everything you need. The staff was exceptional in their service and friendliness. We stayed in lake front room (112) and it had a spectacular view and large balcony to enjoy it on. Although it was a bit small by American standards, it worked just fine.
