“An historic mansion turned boutique hotel in exclusive Cinnamon Gardens. Monochrome guest rooms offer private balconies, luxurious furnishings & wonderful bathrooms. The hotel's restaurant & bar are popular with city residents, whilst the lap pool & courtyard garden are charming. Superb!”

Hotel review

You couldn't find a more striking small hotel. It feels more like a grand home and the discreet staff understand the fine balance between service and privacy. All the rooms offer their own charms, but if you are coming here for a romantic getaway we would recommend the Superior Suites which offer indulgent bathrooms, leafy terraces and balconies. The interiors are all meticulously planned out to offer you maximum comfort and style. A truly remarkable and unique experience.
