Exquisite Dining Experience

“I had the pleasure of dining at L’Eclair for our anniversary, and it was nothing short of superb. The waitstaff were attentive yet discreet, making sure we had everything we needed without hovering. We opted for the fixed price menu, and I still can't get over how the chicken with truffle mashed potatoes exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely delicious, a dish I couldn’t stop savoring until the last bite. The atmosphere was formal but welcoming, making it the perfect setting for such a special occasion.” view full review

Luxurious Room Amenities

“Our room at El Palace was absolutely gorgeous, featuring a massive flat screen TV that my husband particularly adored. The space was well-designed for comfort, with a dressing room and a cozy couch. It truly felt like a luxurious retreat after our long days exploring the city. The immaculate cleanliness of the room made our stay even more enjoyable, and we felt like we truly were in a palace.” view full review

Impressive Bathroom Design

“The bathroom was a standout feature of our stay, spacious and beautifully appointed. I loved having both a shower and a Jacuzzi, which made for the perfect way to unwind after a busy day. The luxury fittings were something I would expect in a five-star hotel, truly elevating our experience.” view full review

Stunning Rooftop Lounge

“The rooftop bar was an absolute highlight of our visit. Even though the weather was a tad windy, the views were lovely, and the atmosphere was enchanting. I completely loved the Swiss chalet theme they introduced for the winter, offering a cozy and relaxing vibe after our excursions throughout the city. It’s a perfect spot to unwind and sip on a good cocktail amid amazing city views.” view full review
