Is this a British word? The pronunciation looks like "grossveanor".. but is actually pronounced, "Grovnoor" Am I right all you British friends?
This hotel is so old (1875) and has been wonderfully renovated. The Grosvenor has a penchant for authentic and unique design. Although theyhave been called a boutique hotel and a hip hotel, they say they are not sure what that really means. A little modern, and a little bohemian.
I like the word Bohemian - it comes from way back.
But the beds are all replaced with new and gloriously comfortable king beds, ensuites and TVs are all there.
This is the reception area and is quite small but if you look around there is a good floral art design on the table, an odd type sculpture playing a violin ( I have to investigate this) and the lovely art deco arches and lighting. Our room cost $nz95 - you can work that out with your exchange rate and it is very reasonable
Three good things;
1. In spite of pokie machines (which support this place) the cuisine was just tops!
2. The mattress was flat and soft and fluffy - what more do you want... besides your own lovely man!
3. We left the wild weather, still pouring down as we were driving home and not going anywhere else!
@darsphotos You are so generous with your favs and your enthusiastic comments, I feel you are an exciting person, Darlene! Thank you, you make me smile!
@maggiemae You are so sweet, Maggiemae. I love so many photos but some are just extraordinary like this one. You captured so well such a pretty place perfectly. I am also partial to music as you know my son plays the tenor Saxophone in a local Jazz Band and I love music. It makes this photo. I am glad I made you smile. This photo made me smile.
Oh this is so pretty, you are correctly in pronunciation we like to make things difficult! Like fenwick pronounced fenick, silent w. We have lots, especially here in the lakes where I am currently staying:0)
Pronounced Grove-ner. Love all the shapes and colours and the light reflecting on the tabletop.
I used to live near a village called Trotiscliffe, pronounced Trozzlee !
very charming place, bohemian describes it best, methinks, with new and not so new blending so well. i rather like your composition, with the violin player in it, enough to get noticed but does not take away from the overall composition. i like it!
are you on vacation?
lovely violin player
