The hotel is very boutique and the rooms are amazing. I was disappointed with Ludwigs breakfast as they offered no a la carte option so I end up paying $60 for an omelette. We also left some items in a drawer in the room and upon calling the hotel to retrieve the items when we got home, they had mysteriously disappeared. I would not expect this for a hotel of this calibre so I would reconsider staying here again.
