The Beau-Rivage Palace or the BRP as it is known to me, has been part of my evolutionary process since before I am able to remember, so a long time. It is still a landmark in every sense of the expression; it is an impressive building with a long history; but it is also a beacon of high quality in service, in client satisfaction, in products and as a thoughtful and modern hotel. We booked a lovely room and received an upgrade which was wonderful; and what a room - every single detail has been thought about and provided for. The bed is excellent; the room layout, modern and beautifully appointed. We had little trays of wonderful chocolates and a bowl of fruit; we wanted to spend as much time as possible there.
But, we didn t, because we booked a table at Ann Sophie Pic who has a restaurant in the hotel; and we were torn, because we did not want to leave the restaurant either. I might write an essay about what we chose to eat and how excellent it was, from start to end; how well the restaurant worked and the first-class service which the guests receive, or the fineness of each dish, or the attention shown in every domain; but I won t because you should try it for yourselves. One thing I shall say; the wine list is world-class; and we found a bottle of the rarest Tuscan wine which raised the evening another notch, if that were possible. This time, I won t wait another twenty years to return.
