Fine Boutique Hotel Experience

beautiful roomfriendly staffguest loungetea making facilities
The room was beautiful and very well-appointed. I found the breakfast excellent with friendly staff. The guest lounge provided complimentary tea and espresso. The honesty bar had gourmet snacks, which i found very practical.
There were no tea-making facilities in the room, slightly inconvenient. I would have APPRECIATED having that option for a late-night beverage.

I ate in the restaurant, Asador 44, located downstairs. It was superb. The breakfast included a delicious, homemade granola. I observed that they prioritized quality over quantity, which impressed me. The food was AMAZING!!!
