At the heart of this home-from-home, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner boasts a cosy ambience that beckons tried travellers to unwind and dine with loved ones long into the evening. The beautifully high ceiling creates a welcome sense of space, with the contemporary decor adding a true air of sophistication.
