If you are yearning for opulence and splendour, this is definitely not the place. This two-story building was built in 1915.

On the otherhand, the steakhouse serves almost 500 dinners a night. Oddly enough, it is easier to book a room at the hotel than a table at Prime 112! Review © 2007, Wcities |
