In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- After the super-plush Grand Suite, the largest and most dramatic rooms are the Master Suites on the second floor. Book a corner suite such as 201,204,26,209 if you fancy bagging yourself the most photogenic city views from the dizzying stone balconies.
- Packing tips
- 62 Castle Street’s rooms don’t come with DVD players, so pack a portable if you want to cosy up on the leather sofa with a film. In winter, it can get windy down at the docks, so bring a snuggly scarf to stave off the chills.
- Also
- Although the hotel is too small to have it’s own pool, guests can nab passes at reception for the Crowne Plaza Harbour Club, giving them free use of the club’s pool, Jacuzzi and spa facilities.
