The Connaught
Introduction <br>We also saw the 2 BR Terrace Suite which occupies the top floor of the new wing. It has a very spacious Master Bedroom with separate living room and dressing area, as well as a second King-bedded guestroom down the hallway.<br>While the old wing is traditionally British, the new wing offers a pleasant contemporary style with hardwood floors, attractive furnishings, and great bathrooms. Bathrooms have black marble floors and white marble vanities. They are equipped with dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, Toto toilets (that raises its seat for you, etc.), and a separate step-in rain shower. The only downside is that the rooms are compact - Superior rooms are 30 square meters and Deluxe are 33 square meters. To get the space you'd normally associate with a Deluxe room, you would have to book an open-plan Superior Jr. Suite (43 sqm) or Deluxe Jr Suite (47 sqm).I had previously seen the old wing at The Connaught during a site inspection in February, 2007. During this trip, I had the opportunity to see a Deluxe Room in the new wing.
