“This historic hotel has hosted everyone from Charles Dickens and Mark Twain to Malcolm X. Live-out Gilded Age fantasies from the minute you enter the vast lobby with its high ceilings and oak panelling. Rooms are classic, colourful & spacious, with the luxury amenities expected of a 5-star property.”
