| The hotel managed to keep it's famous 'traditional' character, even when it was acqired by the Mandarin Oriental group. The new owners made and keep making improvements where needed, mostly dealing with the fact that the building is a rather old structure,without ever going for too radical a makeover, which would probably distroy it's charme. The service is outstanding, which in my opinion is a result of the hotel's acknowledged success in teaching and training young personal in house.
