It's famous for its stunning Beaux-Arts architecture. After being closed for a while and going through some changes, it made a grand comeback in 2015 with a major renovation.

No coffee machine in the room (you’ve to ask), we asked at the reception news towels at least (too late to clean the room)…when we were back : nothing. Doormen’s are here but they don’t open the door !!! Minibar empty.
