“Stylish contemporary rooms in a centrally-located red-brick Victorian mansion. Minimalist decor and chic furnishings complement the building's original architectural features; wood floors, moulding, gabled ceilings and double-height windows. Enjoy the modern art, front parlour and spa treatments.”
