Beautiful Bathtubs

“As someone who loves baths, I was excited about the beautiful bathtubs in our room. Although there was a minor hiccup with not having a stopper, I creatively improvised and thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the tub. The experience was good, and the elegance of the bathroom added to our overall enjoyment.” view full review

United States, August 2024

8.6/10

I recently stayed at this hotel and was captivated by its extraordinary historical ambiance. It felt unique to be in a former asylum, creating a fascinating experience. The architecture is simply stunning, with gorgeous details that made wandering the halls a pleasure. While the dining options were excellent, finding adequate parking was a bit challenging during busy events, which was a slight drawback. Overall, this hotel offers a truly boutique experience that stands out.
