There's a genuinely warm feeling of welcome in the mahogany panelled reception, lobby and lounge - the latter replete with original artworks, an imposing Jacobean Revival chimney piece, plump sofas and discreet bar. Old kilims adorn side tables, an Ottoman theme repeated in the rich pile carpeting throughout. Rooms have air conditioning, direct dial telephone, interactive satellite TV, broadband internet (extra charge), desk and chair, hairdryer, electronic safe, tea & coffee making facilities and central heating. En-suite bathrooms have bath tub and shower and all amenities.
