Luxury • request a full stay quote
Room prices are date dependent. Include any mandatory hotel fees, city taxes and parking in the comparison. A spa treatment is a separate booking: a room reservation alone does not include access to the soaking pool.
Prices in US dollars unless stated otherwise. Starting prices and historical examples are not live offers. Select your dates, guest ages and travel product, then compare the final total and cancellation terms.
03 / THE HONEST COMPARISON
The reasons to go.
The reasons to pause.
Our editorial assessment of the offering and practical tradeoffs.
Pros
- Distinctive historic neighborhood
- A dedicated spa experience
- Appealing for a slower city itinerary
Cons
- Hills complicate walks with strollers or limited mobility
- Pool access is tied to a spa treatment
- A spa focused stay costs more than the room price
04 / BEFORE YOU BOOK
The details that
make a difference.
- 01
The official FAQ limits spa facilities to guests with confirmed treatments
- 02
Hotel guests have 24 hour fitness center access
- 03
The hotel recommends booking treatments at least a week ahead
05 / THE SHOPFEST VERDICT
Is it worth your trip?
An appealing choice for a grown up city escape with time set aside for wellness. Do not book it as a family pool hotel: the soaking pool is part of a treatment based spa experience.
