Charming, traditional rooms with modern amenities like minibars and rainfall showers
The Old World, colonial-style of the property continues in guest rooms, which fuse Eastern and Western elements. Glossy tiled floors are paired with traditional rugs and dark wood furniture, while patterned fabrics accent the beds and Eastern art hangs on the walls. Details like wooden figurines, vintage lamps, and ceramic tea sets are a few of the extra details that make rooms feel homey and welcoming. It's all quite elegant, though there's nothing especially fashionable or design-conscious about the decor.
