Good evening Unfortunately we will not be planning on returning to your hotel. While the lobby is absolutely stunning , the room itself was more than disappointing. Room 320 is not / should not be advertised as a "family room." The room is not at all conducive to being occupied by a family. The bar is completely unnecessary in the space and while it is beautiful, in addition to being unnecessary it takes up space that would be better utilized by including some type of seating, such as a chaise lounge. Additionally the lighting in the room occupied by the bunk beds is completely inadequate. It was extremely dark and non -functioning as a space. Also , in my travels I have never stayed at a hotel that did not offer a luggage cart for bags. I am also at a loss as to why you have a room with multiple occupants and you provide one small bathroom trash can. Finally , there isn't even a full mirror to be found anywhere in the room and the one that would have the slightest possibility of being utilized is blocked by the bar. While my children are aged 10 and 15 yrs of age , I cannot imagine how difficult it would be for a family with younger children to be able to utilize the space and enjoy their stay.

Feast for the senses!
Delightful! Feast for the senses! Love the return to old world hotel luxuries not the same cookie cutter sterile decor for sure! Wonderful restaurants in the hotel! We happened to be there on a rare rainy weekend but enjoyed just hanging out indoors. Looking forward to going back to enjoy the amazing old Hollywood style pool!
