Michelin Guide
"The Tryp Ambassador has a stately atmosphere with an attractive patio typical of this exclusive district of the city."
Frommer's
"The Ambassador doesn't feel like part of a hotel chain. It's far too individual and still largely resembles the elegant baronial palace it was." Full review
Time Out
"Located in a former palace, the Ambassador manages to retain a vaguely baronial air despite being part of a chain." Full review
