Loved by guests
"Being partly in France for music, the record studio & audio room in the basement was a rare treat in a hotel, unique I'd say."
"French Theory offers an experience that, as far as I know, was lacking in Paris, particularly in this historical neighborhood."
"They especially liked the movie projector and record player in the room."
