Beautiful Hotel and extremely attentive staff
The hotel has a warm and friendly feel. Among the beauty and grandeur we felt valued and special. Special mention for the very helpful doorman who went out of his way to make us welcome. I didn't catch his name, but he was working on 14th February. Our room was immaculate and comfortable with plenty of space and well-equipped. Toiletries are lovely but I would have appreciated a vanity pack (I forgot my cotton buds) Peacock Alley is amazing! We will go back.
