Had a very incredible service and lots of extra treats of lovely drinks, champagne, calendars and things from very wonderful Reception staff as well as brilliant service all round from Ann, Zoe, Hamad, Isaac, Jerome, Charlie and everyone. Beautiful and talented pianist. A stunning hotel. A heart full of gratitude and thanks
When you find out you're going to a hotel that cost a billion pounds to make... At first, I was like, that's too much money. However, all the mod cons and everything that they have is fantastic. This place makes you feel rich if you're dressed appropriately, which I was. Of course, I'm impressed that all the staff knew who we were.

His friendly and professional approach made the experience enjoyable, and he took the time to understand my preferences, guiding me to the perfect selection. His passion and expertise are unmatched, making the visit both educational and memorable.
