I loved the Hotel Windsor’s position, safe and close to Flinders Lane, my favorite place. I go there to visit Collette in Tessuti Fabrics and Christine at Christine’s. A former buyer for Georges Christine stocks the best European accessories and advises how one should wear them, an Alladins cave.
The Hotel Windsor has a wonderful (and very tall
Concierge) who welcomed us warmly. They have the most comfortable beds (in fact we bought some of their
feather pillows online upon our return home.
High tea can be had at the Windsor on Sundays, the Hotel is grand with spacious rooms and wide hallways,
