Her meticulous restoration was an exceptional undertaking, with no expense spared. Hand painted panels, individually sourced antiques and exquisite fabrics all provide a harmonious ambiance, reflective of the deco styling of the 1930’s. With many changes over the years, including a major refit in the 1980’s which she was modernized to almost beyond recognizable, she has now been lovingly restored to her former glory and is looking better than ever.
