In the know

Our favourite rooms: With huge private zebrawood dressing rooms and dining areas, the Hazelton and Avenue Suites are fit for a rock star. Although if you're a real entourage-brandishing superstar, the Bellaire Suite has additional lounge areas and is kitted out with glassware, cutlery and dishes for guests who have a longer stay in mind.
Packing tips: Your designer-label swimwear. If you forget your Celine handbag or designer cocktail dress you can always pick them up in the boutique, Hazel.
