Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Wedgewood to business travellers who avoid international chains and to couples seeking a spa weekend without leaving the city centre. The hotel attracts a clientele of forty-somethings and older, accustomed to European Relais & Châteaux, who appreciate the personalised service and the absence of groups. Families find their place thanks to connecting rooms, yet the atmosphere remains resolutely adult.
