The bespoke services start when you pull into the porte cochère, where you are greeted and welcomed promptly. Attentive, professional yet friendly staff members who take great care attending to details — from the valet to the expert Clefs d’Or concierge — is why The Hazelton is known especially for its exclusivity and discretion, a large part of what attracts leisure visitors, business travelers and celebrities.
But sleek, modern, spacious guest rooms, an excellent Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa and a top-notch restaurant are what keep them coming back.
