“This hotel, conceived as a school, strikes a balance between modern design and practical training; students offer attentive service and insightful local knowledge. The dining experience is particularly memorable, with menus crafted by seasoned chefs and presented by those same students, and the restful rooms provide a quiet retreat. It's a unique stay, full of youthful energy and artistic flair.”
