“In my opinion, this hotel successfully merges historical charm with modern luxury, particularly evident in its thoughtful renovation of a former grammar school, now featuring unique Indian architectural details. The location near Tower Bridge is exceptional, complemented by award-winning Indian cuisine and a signature spa, Rejuve. I think it stands out for its personalized service and distinctive culinary experiences.”
