“Elegant old school hotel in the heart of Nelson. Beautifully appointed rooms with a lovely in house bar with leather booths. But what made this stay so special was the superb staff. Nothing was too much for them. They accommodated our groups every wish with grace and patience. Only place in town to stay!”
