Another wonderful stay from start to finish at this fantastic hotel.
I stayed in room 444, a superior sea view room which had a fabulous view.
The room was huge and the bathroom had a jacuzzi bath and separate shower.
Complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits are provided. Robes, slippers a hairdryer and fan are also provided.
They no longer provide bottled water but, there is a water fountain on floors 1 & 3.
Breakfast was superb as was food in the brasserie.
As always , staff were all attentive, friendly and professional.
I look forward to another visit soon.
Thank you.

Fabulous hotel, decor is beautiful. Had afternoon tea, which was very nice, only thing was I asked for a coffee refill which took so long to come I'd finished eating. No butter provided for cheese scones either. Room was lovely, with a seaview, breakfast was good.
