Wow I had shrimp and sausage over grits. Not being from the south grits were never my favorite until now cheesy, not like over whipped potatoes but had texture and tastes unbelievable. If this is not the best real southern meal then I can not think of a better example. I owned an award winning Italian Steak house for 18 years so I very rarely give any meal a 5 star but the meal the service the horse drawn carriages out side and the street cars going buy.Wow!!!

Room was grand and comfortable, with lovely decor and great bathroom. The towels were large, clean and delivered in abundance. The staff was nice and helpful.
But, unfortunately do not expect much else. There are no coffee or tea making facilities in the room. The espresso bar does not make espresso coffee. The rooftop terrace is advertised as grand, but is actually sad arrangement of few chairs and tables. The gym facilities across the road were particularly disappointing. The man at the entrance is militantly unwelcoming, the space is dark, equipment old, dirty and unkempt. Real shame, I hope Hu finds better arrangements in the future.
