Positive: Great location beautiful building. I’ve stayed there 3 times in last few years. Staff is lovely. The rooms are large with tall ceilings and it has a very Parisian feel to it. As for facilites there’s no gym or pool or anything like that but the park is across the street for exercise. The hotel has a great view and I spent a lot of time on the balcony reading,relaxing, and people watching. I highly recommend

Positive: I loved staying at The Esplanade Hotel. The best part was that they upgraded us to the Queen’s Suite free of charge. It was a wonderful room, beautifully preserved with 1900s vintage designs, and it had a huge balcony overlooking the harbour. The spacious living room, comfortable bed, and the massive bathroom made the stay even more special. The location is fantastic as well, close to everything you need. A truly relaxing stay and worth every penny.
Summary: A Wonderful Vintage Stay with Stunning Harbour Views
