I do want to correct one inaccurate perception that the bed here is of low quality.

The reason I directed my attention to stay in this hotel is they feature Duxianna beds in every room.
These beds start at 5000 US dollars and go to about 15k per bed
They have been hand made in Sweden for around 100 years and even Tony Blair sleeps on one as I and many folks seeking luxury sleep systems
have for decades.Ive seen reviews of those that hate them

It’s design is the classic Scandinavian sleep system and imo it’s one of the best in the world 🌎
Dux has historically made some exceptional beds and for some that may be quite uncomfortable.
Its not a quality issue but typically a softness movement thing that may be jarring to some used to sleeping on
hard firm surfaces.There is medical data stating this cushioning and movement thing is better for orthopedic health for many.
That said try to telling that to someone who likes a firm bed.😂
They will likely hate sleeping on a dux
I’ve booked a stay here despite the lack of a proper elite breakfast benefit which is none!
Ironically, I slept fantastic at this hotel so I'd gladly go back but the breakfast benefit was rather disappointing.
