C’est un hôtel que nous connaissons depuis plusieurs années, un certain luxe et traditions ! Décoration superbes pour Noël, les salons avec feux de cheminée pour prendre un thé avec une belle vaisselle et théière en métal argenté, personnel très attentif, font que l’on se sent bien. Nous reviendrons encore…
