A beautiful 'belle epoque' hotel sadly let down by its bedrooms and a strangely industrial restaurant. My room was old, lacking amenities (power sockets, safety accessories such as a non slip mat for the shower, only one chair in a double room and no desk light) and was in need of serious renovation. The lift did not operate correctly from our floor (apparently due to a missing part!). The restaurant named 'Shalimar' I assume after the 16th Century Shalamar Gardens in Lahore, renowned for their beauty, is a dark and depressing place with a steam punk industrial theme - so a bit of a mismatch there - however the food served was good. This beautiful 'grande dame' of a hotel deserves better and is certainly ready for a thoughtful refurbishment.
