“Hotel Bellwether strikes me as a place where details genuinely matter, from the Nespresso machines in the rooms to the thoughtful dog-friendly amenities-my Labrador would certainly feel pampered. Its waterfront location is ideal for couples seeking a romantic getaway. The architectural design, suggestive of a lighthouse, is distinctive, and the proximity to both the marina and dining adds to its appeal.”
