We are pleased as punch to have been included in a wonderful review by Cosmopolitan’s Commissioning Editor Catriona Innes

When she visited our city, she stayed with us and she had plenty of nice things to say about us.

Grand, yet hedonistic vibe

She loved the vibe and our location was spot-on, she said.

Here’s just some of what she had to say …

“If you like to role play as a hot mess Victorian heiress, who brings scandal on her family by throwing opulent parties and taking secret lovers, you have to stay in The Queens Hotel, which dates back to 1861 and still has a grand, yet hedonistic, vibe. Even if you don’t get your kicks imagining you live an entirely different life (just me?!) it’s still the prettiest place to stay, with herringbone floors, twinkling chandeliers and a ceiling mural to get lost in… and that’s just the lobby.”
