We were not guests at this hotel, but came for a champagne experience for my best friend's birthday. Basically, if you want to sip champagne from a glass slipper (designed by Christian Louboutin), this is the place to go! Or at least it was. Although it had been booked in advance, it seemed that for some reason or another the hotel no longer provided this service.
Needless to say we were a bit disappointed. The experience was supposed to be €80 or thereabouts, but because of the mix-up we were only charged €60 for our champagne afternoon. Our hostess was the lovely Umi (I hope I spelled that correctly), who was so sweet and helpful. She actually did bring out the glass slippers for us, which were now on display, and we got to do it anyway at the lower price. Also, thanks to her helpful suggestions, I found my new favourite champagne, Tattinger - nice, sweet, and entirely too sippable!
And although we weren't guests at the hotel, Umi did some conciergery for us to find a nice restaurant, and took some pictures for us. What an absolute superstar! If the rest of the staff at this hotel are as wonderful as she was, then I'd highly recommend it.
We had a wonderful afternoon, so thank you so much! You made my friend's birthday. ^^ read more
