“In my view, this is an iconic hotel, with a truly spectacular lobby and amazing rooms, perfectly situated near every key area; the staff is first-rate. However, breakfast needs upgrades and coffee lovers will not enjoy their morning brew here. Overall, I would recommend it, but with slight reservations.”

mixed experience , some issues noted
no coffee machine basic amenities
the location was convenient , close to many attractions.
i was annoyed that there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room , a pretty basic thing to expect. also , i found the absence of cotton pads and cotton buds inconvenient. needing to call down every time i needed them felt unnecessary. i definitely expected these items in a 5-star hotel and was quite disappointed not to find them available.

Regal Retreat
room upgrade amazing service
My stay included a room upgrade because I am a Platinum Elite member. This gave us an very nice Beautiful King Room Garden View. The front desk manager sent champagne to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. This showed great attention. I enjoyed evening cocktails, including one of the best Moscow mules I have ever had. The bartenders crafted each drink with care and precision.
The hotel lacked a coffee machine and a kettle in the room, which I believe are basic amenities for a five-star hotel. I also thought that the cups and glasses were not as clean and new as expected. The cups and glasses did not match the high standards.
Rooms
