“We are uniquely positioned to cater to the needs of a new generation of luxury travellers, offering a personalised experience informed by the brand’s legacy.”

The hotel’s design captures an urban refined style, complemented by warm tones and specially commissioned art work which lends an elegant and stylish touch to the guest rooms and public spaces.
