Everything was perfect!! My husband and I travel all over the world due to professional obligations and we always try to stay to the best hotels. This is an amazing hotel! You should definitely stay there. The atmosphere, the food, the staff, the live music, the rooms are all perfect! Highly Highly recommended! I hope we could stay more but we had to go back to NY.
