The fact that it was not made clear in advance that the parking was the most expensive in the city unfortunately detracted from the overall experience. Otherwise, this is a beautiful and charming historic hotel.
The breakfast, served at the neighboring Grand Hotel Savoie, was excellent and enjoyed in a cozy indoor setting. Inside the hotel, the atmosphere is peaceful and elegant. Outside, however, there is heavy city traffic and, as is common in many larger Italian cities, occasional unpleasant smells from garbage collection.
