This was a beautiful hotel with a wonderful feel of luxury and elegance. We were able to walk to dining areas around and walk back to ring in the new year together. The fireplace in our room was such a lovely romantic touch of class. The breakfast and service was also very good.

The Des Lux was DELUX!
This hotel was very high class and fancy. Great location and amenities. The only downside was parking across the street.
