Guests have access to a terrace, outdoor furniture, and a smoke-free environment throughout the property.

Twenty-nine uniquely designed rooms and suites feature individually selected antique and wood furniture. The one-bedroom suites include a sitting area with a fireplace, while the petite rooms offer a private balcony overlooking the garden.

Intimate meeting rooms are available for business events and private gatherings. The hotel offers fax and photocopying services, and free Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the property. Luggage assistance is provided by staff, as there are no elevators in the historic buildings.
