"This five-star hotel has been created behind the historic façade of a former postal building: an elegant setting for banquets and conferences, accommodating up to 750 participants."

Be sure to ask for one of the 11 nostalgically old-fashioned rooms in the main building, which has a garden on an island in the old millrace.
