Your room awaits. The bed is made, no bathroom to clean and a picture perfect view just outside your french doors. Inside are open-beam ceilings, colours and textures that soothe, custom cabinetry, a 52” ceiling fan, energy efficient smart heating, a mini fridge, coffee station, luxury ensuite with soaker tub and a terrace for morning mimosas.
