Amazing high tech hotel!

Overall the hotel property was excellent! The rooms were spacious and very modern -incorporating best of class technology for room controls. The service for the restaurant could be improved - as we felt the waiters were not well versed with the menu and might not be as trained. We didn’t understand what the purpose of the bar at the atrium when the waiters still had to go to the rooftop bar to get drinks. Our toilet rolls were replaced when the rooms are serviced which felt unnecessary. Loved the spa which was great for rewinding after the 2 weeks road trip we just did.

Sublime!

Four days of pure luxury. We upgraded to the Europa suite and it was the most magical venue for Christmas. We enjoyed a magnificent Christmas lunch, delicious breakfasts and wonderful room service meals. The staff were absolutely phenomenal. We really don’t have enough superlatives for our stay at the Fontenay. Worth every penny!
