Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

10/10 Excellent
"A fantastic trip away for three nights. Very easy check in and check out. Great they have a pool and spa and the bath in our room was huge! The only slight inconvenience was not being able to use the tv for Streaming but it was ok as we weren’t counting on it and we read books. Valet parking was a breeze. We will definitely be back. Very central to everything."
