“There's an old-world charm to this place that I appreciate, blended with modern facilities - though perhaps some of the furnishings are a touch antiquated. Its location near Circular Quay makes getting around incredibly easy, and the proximity to the Opera House is a real advantage. I particularly like that the hotel features a significant collection of fine art.”
