Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
