The hotel is expensive, but the room is small, has no bathtub, and has no sea view. Most of the money is spent on the location and exquisite decoration. Hotel parking also costs money, and none of the services are provided for free, so a hotel that costs 7,700 to 8,000 or 8,000 per night is really not cost-effective. Of course, it also has a sense of history and design. It is true that many rich people live there, but if you want to truly enjoy the feeling of being rich, you'd better book a room for more than 10,000 yuan a night, otherwise you will regret throwing money away like me. Inside. Don't say that I am poor and have not seen the world. I moved out and lived in downtown Santa Barbara, LA and other places. There is no harm in not comparing. I can only say that you can stay here if you don’t mind the money. After all, it’s a luxury hotel and you won’t feel uncomfortable. But your little money can’t buy you elegance. Just don’t be fooled by Xiaohongshu’s sales like me.

We liked the location. Unfortunately an elevator was not working so we had limited options for a room, however we were put in a very nice room on the 3rd floor.

This is a beautiful property and staff were very friendly. Check in was great and and the room was ready upon arrival. The decor is fabulous and the bathroom and bed a dream! Room service was quick, hot and delicious! The only negative is the lack of any stores in the area so come stocked if you want cheaper options than those provided in the mini bar. There are a million restaurants in and around the hotel so you will not lack dining options.
