From the Suite Collection — Suites No. 06
The Editor's Favourite Suites
Six rooms that stayed with us longer than expected.
This selection follows no system. These are suites we remember — for a detail, a certain light, an hour in the morning.
They do not suit every journey. But when they do, they carry the whole stay.
