What it feels like
A few quiet notes on the stay.
The first impression is not a lobby but a sequence of stone, timber and courtyard shade. The old city feels close because it is: the street begins as soon as the door opens.
This is the heritage anchor of the route — best used for mornings on foot, a slow middle of the day and evenings that stay inside the Colonial City.
