This is without question one of the best hotels in the city. Small, great service and well located. If your budget is not sensitive, this is a brilliant option. The spa, service and variety of dining venues are all top notch as well.

Morning and Afternoon Tea is an elegant ritual steeped in tradition and one of the Saxon’s specialties. A sophisticated experience awaits you in the Piano Lounge, the ideal venue for taking a much-needed break from your busy day to catch up with friends over a cup of perfectly infused tea.
