What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s a century-and-a-half-old Regency building … what’s inside is as contemporary as it is classic.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Montpellier Gardens and the district's independent boutiques are a short walk down Bayshill Road.
The rooms
Club Deluxe rooms place freestanding bathtubs directly in the bedroom. Upstairs, the Signature Suite opens onto a private rooftop terrace.
Restaurant
Chez Mal Brasserie
Grass-fed British steaks come off the charcoal grills, served beside an open kitchen tiled in dark green.
At the table
Chez Mal Bar serves cocktails along a curved wooden counter, and the Drawing Room seats private dinners under a glass chandelier.
