But looking better than ever.

Built in 1927 as a kosher hotel, the Conti has seen many iterations and transformations, with one clear throughline: welcoming guests for respite. In 2026 we completed a renovation and refurbishment to keep the house standing for another century. With new bedding, an improved yoga space and new spa facilities, we can’t wait to welcome you back.
