The fine print
Between October 2025 and Spring 2026, we will be updating all our guestrooms. While this transformation is taking place, we want to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible and so all work will take place one floor at a time, and during the daytime to ensure minimal distribution to guests. All facilities, services, and amenities offered remain unaffected.
Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.
Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian.
