Put this Hotel anywhere in the world and you'd be delighted, then you look out of the window and realise you're at the top of the world. Ice, snow, darkness, i still can't believe i was there. The rooms are large and well equipped, the breakfast is fabulous and staff so helpful. Great Cocktails in the beautiful bar and lounge. I'd love to keep this place a secret but that just wouldn't be fair. Go, go now.

The staff were incredible in all areas; warm, helpful, and insightful. I will quite likely return to the hotel in the Summer. All facilities were immaculate and the restaurant was fantastic.
