We stayed here at Christmas and the whole family loved it so much, our kids (both under 10) are still talking about it four months later. The hotel went above and beyond to make Christmas perfect, with Santa making a surprise appearance at dinner with a bag full of gifts, thoughtful surprises left in the room, ballet dancers performing in the lobby during tea, a wonderful carriage ride around the neighborhood—and on and on. Just unexpected delights everywhere. Normally I would not leave a review so long after the stay, but after spring break at a really fabulous beach resort my kids were ranking their all time favorite hotels, and they volunteered that the Connaught was still at the top. So I felt I would be remiss not to leave a review.
