"The rooms are nicely appointed but elements of them still give you the sense of a building built in 1832."

“The historic architecture caught my attention; stepping inside feels like entering a preserved 19th-century mansion, and that's not something you find in every hotel. With curated wine experiences, on-site dining, and its location in Old Town, this place distinguishes itself; it is made for romantic getaways or special events, in my opinion. It presents itself as a good option if you are looking for a place with personality.”
