Nice location and great architecture in the area. Close to restaurants and shopping. Would stay again but dislike that parking is paid to park in hotel car park. - Off street parking is available and plenty close by for free in evening hours. Would 100% stay again.

This is such a beautiful property. We arrived a little early and were encouraged to enjoy the pool and it’s amenities. The pool has wonderful drink and food service. The setting is lovely, especially since it is a rooftop pool and you can see over the city. Our room was immaculate and very large. If you are celebrating any special event, let the hotel staff know ahead of time and they can accommodate. I cannot say enough positive things about the Fontaine. It was a pleasurable experience for sure.
