The hotel recently underwent a £16 million renovation, updating all 232 rooms while preserving the art deco charm that has been savoured by guests such as Grace Kelly and Nelson Mandela. While it’s a clearly sophisticated venue, it also has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. There’s no standing awkwardly in the elevator – this is a place where friendly chats are pretty much compulsory.
For the ultimate experience, guests are advised to book a City View room, which offers fantastic views of City Square. You don’t have to stroll far from your room to find a delightful High Tea in the hotel’s Grand Pacific restaurant. Our friendly, attentive waiter Pete really added to the enjoyment of the experience and providing one platter for a vegetarian and one for a meat-eater was a fuss-free process.
Topped off with a few glasses of prosecco, this really is a wonderful way to set your early evening off on the right track. Later, we wound down our evening at Mowgli Indian restaurant, which is a great place to go for a light bite. Since we’d indulged in an afternoon tea, we didn’t want much more to eat so we shared a delicious selection of vegetarian street food dishes.
Mowgli is a beautifully lit, laid-back kind .
