Great room and very helpful staff. Brought us a fan to the room because the AC was turned off for the winter. The view from the room was breathtaking. Really comfy feeling at the property and cool things to see just a short hike or funicular away. The breakfasts were nice, rooms clean and comfy bedding. Would definitely go back to visit and stay. Just a chill place... especially in the off-season.

It’s all about the location at the top of a mountain overlooking a jewel box of a church. This grand hotel was built in the early 1900’s. It has been renovated but is definitely an older property. Room was comfortable and the view was AMAZING. Breakfast was wonderful.

This is a first class hotel with responsive amd friendly staff. The location can be spotted from miles away at the summit of a very high hill above which provides wonderful sights of the city and river. The dinner was outstanding and the staff attentive.
