The newly renovated hotel boasts the coolest bar, overlooking gorgeous gardens and pool. Its outside and really chilled. Have to be there at sunset. The hotel also hosts the five rooms restaurant, which takes full advantage of the grand old rooms, with cutting edge decor, service and menu.

Decided to have breakfast at the Alphen's Cafe Restaurant this morning with my family.

Outdoor bar / terrace was also enjoyable.
