Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

Burgundy Restaurant, part of the hotel, is hands down one of the best in town. Advance reservations are essential!
Something to think about

Something to think about

The middle room is the smallest room and although it doesn’t have a balcony, it does have a mountain view. If you’re planning on being out and about all day, it would make an excellent (and cheaper) choice.
