A big refurbishment started this week.
The current reception, bar and restaurant have been closed, and temporary versions set up in the conference rooms. This will remain in place until around Easter.
After that, they start refurbishing the rooms. It will be interesting to see if they remove the desks, as a large proportion of the guests are corporate customers rather than tourists.
And thankfully, they've replaced the lounge toaster at last! The old one was a death trap
