One of the best experiences ever. From rooms to dining and service. All were excellent. The hotel lobby is truly the anchor and has a grand sense of arrival. The service is great and the Peacock alley is a great place to sit and soak in the full aura and ambiance it to mention having some great meetings as well. Definitely a must see and a must stay.
