From the Suite Collection — Suites No. 03
City Suites We Love
Retreats above the traffic — the city, when you want it.
In a city, what matters most is how quiet a room is. A good city suite acknowledges the pace outside and stops it at the door.
This selection follows less the square metres than the simple question of whether you look forward to returning after a long day.
What really matters in a city suite?
Quiet and floor level. In a city it is not the floor area that decides the quality of the night but the position within the building. Ask for rooms away from the lift, the bar and courtyard service. Second: for one or two nights, a smaller quiet category almost always beats a large one on the street.
