Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hotel's policy does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your furry companions.
  • Valet parking only — Parking is available only via valet, which may involve extra cost and time. On-site car park is listed, but valet is the stated option.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, which might be inconvenient if you arrive late at night or have a very early arrival.
  • Price on the higher side — With rates from around $1,091 per night, this is a premium property. While the rating is solid, the price reflects the luxury level.
