- The 'Garden Terrace' is a legitimate secret oasis in the city center

Краткий обзор: It's an expensive, polished fortress of French luxury that feels a world away from the weed smoke and bachelor parties just outside its gates.
Подтверждено @kellicarpenter: I’ve stayed in luxury hotels before, but never had a welcome like this. Walking in to find framed photos of us all over the suite made our anniversary trip unforgettable. The purple decor is bold, but the service is what really stole my heart.

- You need a full-service spa and pool to recover from walking the canals
- You want 5-star butler service and don't mind paying a premium for it
