"Or the way the hotel’s restaurant, Brasserie Emil, has this neat trick of diffusing the light on the windows, leaving you feeling like you’re cocooned in the most heavenly glow while scarfing down a perfect scallop carpaccio and swoonsome mousse au chocolat. (Be warned: the waitstaff generously leave you, old school brasserie style, with the entire bowl, which I was ready to swipe from the table and take to my room.)" - Mark Holgate
