Rough Guide "Hushed, opulent landmark building... Stay here for snob value, above all."

Frommer's "The original 1875 Palace was one of the world's largest and most luxurious hotels, and every time you walk through the doors here, you'll be reminded how incredibly majestic old luxury really is." Full review

Fodor's ""Majestic" is the word that best sums up this landmark hotel, which was the world's largest and most luxurious when it opened in 1875." Full review

"Boasting ample turn-of-the-20th-century elegance and 550 rooms on only eight floors (dig these corridors), the Palace is aptly named." Full review
