The Tempus Restaurant and Bar is a must-visit during your stay if you are looking for delicious, seasonal, and locally sourced fare. If parts of the hotel look familiar, it is because the architect Charles Fitzroy Doll designed Tempus Restaurant very similar to that of the famous Titanic restaurant.
