About

The Embassy Suites

The hotel is adults-only and welcomes pets, offering a quiet, refined base. The suites are modern and spacious, with kitchenettes, separate sitting areas, and some with balconies or bathtubs.

  • Adults-only policy — The hotel is adults-only, so it's not suitable for families traveling with children.
