Travel Tips

Book parking in advance to secure a spot, as spaces fill quickly during peak tourist season (March to August). If you plan to explore the Perfume River or outlying tombs, ask the concierge to arrange a paid bike rental or guided tour for a fair rate. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the Citadel’s sprawling grounds, and don’t forget to try the hotel’s in-room breakfast before starting your day of sightseeing. For guests with accessibility needs, the entire hotel is fitted with wheelchair-accessible routes and emergency bathroom pull cords, so be sure to mention your requirements when booking.
