The Signature Suites
The epitome of grand living at The Islington Hotel is found within the comfort of The Signature Room, a Beidermeier themed suite commanding an entire corner of the original house, whose centre-piece is a huge Austro-Hungarian Empire bed facing the fireplace. Luxurious furnishings upholstered in lush chocolate silks from Jim Thompson complete the look. On one side French doors lead to the front English inspired garden (the perfect spot to enjoy the all-inclusive, unlimited minibar) while on the other, is a luxurious marble bathroom with heated floor deep bath, separate toilet and rain shower stall.
Courtyard Suites
A private veranda and courtyard are focal points of this gorgeous north facing room decorated in rich caramel, golds and greens. Artwork and antiques complete the décor the highlight of which is the original sandstone stable wall that runs the length of the suite.
