“The building itself is a captivating time capsule, whispering tales of 1935 through its original fittings, though a touch of polish is needed in a few spots. Yet, the upstairs lounge and rooftop terrace offer delightful escapes, and the in-room balcony is a welcome personal perch. Its prime downtown location, conveniently situated by a Metro station, makes navigating the city effortless.”
