About
There are 6 suites to select from in the building. All with their own character and charm. The high ceilings, exposed brick, and archways are flawless in execution, giving a nod to the old heritage building that once donned the same features. Ada, the restaurant, a well suited match to the building it calls home. The menu is stripped back with classic dishes ~ refined and delicate but flavours that sing true to its Italian roots. Taking walk in’s and large group bookings, @ada_akl is worth the trip alone. The rooms are fairly priced for a nights stay, however booking here requires some planning ahead as the rooms do fill a few weeks in advance. Save this for a birthday getaway or an anniversary weekend.
