From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming staff — every team member went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, full of historic charm and character that’s beautifully preserved while still offering all the modern amenities you could ask for. The atmosphere captures the perfect blend of elegance and comfort, and you can truly feel the history in every detail — from the architecture to the décor. It’s rare to find a place that feels both luxurious and inviting, but this hotel does it effortlessly. We can’t wait to return — highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, historic, and genuinely hospitable experience!

The room was clean, stylish and had everything you might need. The beds were very comfortable with sparkly white linens. We enjoyed our evening at the bar and breakfast the next morning at the Wild Swann. All of the staff were very nice, entertaining and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful hotel overall but the rooms were way too cold! Even when moved to a new room it still stayed quite cool so that the tile fly was almost too cold to walk on! A gorgeously furnished hotel though! Should have complimentary coffee in the lobby also-not just the pour over in the room!
