The hotel was renovated and redecorated in 2007. Even today aspects of the old 1842 hotel can still be appreciated, such as the staircase and the marble in the lobby, the acid etched grand windows in the breakfast lounge, and the wide corridors still preserved from the old seventeenth century Franciscan convent, all perfectly combined with the comfort and convenience of today’s hotel.
