“This contemporary version of a grand, city hotel is marvellously located and done out in soothing understated style. Public spaces include the elegant Stravinskij Bar (a fine spot for people watching), the excellent Le Jardin de Russie Restaurant and the De Russie Wellness Zone. There are 122-odd well-equipped bedrooms and gleaming bathrooms. But the ‘wow’ factor is the magnificent terraced garden, filled with orange and lemon trees, statues and butterflies.”
