Testimonials

“We had celebrity chef, Klaus Lange from San Francisco as a weekend guest in our Banker’s Suite last week. I wanted to forward to you Chef Lange’s lovely thank you note because it describes the atmosphere that all the beautiful, artistic V&R pieces have created. Everyone that has toured The Banker’s Suite is completely blown way by Victoria and Richard’s work. I can’t thank you enough!” — Trish

“We would like to thank you so very much for our recent stay at the Bankers Suite. We have stayed in some very fine accommodations around the world, but this one surpasses them all. The creative whimsical decor was a pleasure to explore, each day discovering something new. The spacious layout was full of choices for every mood — allowing one to move from the luxurious bedroom to the gourmet kitchen to the cozy fireplace seating to any one of the seating or dining areas. Fulio’s as the caterer for the the suite is inspired — their food is always delicious. The magic of the suite helped create a special ambience for our dinner event, and the guests were thrilled just to be there. You have created an amazing experience with the unique artistry, luxurious comfort and attention to detail — so much more than any kind of hotel room or suite we have ever stayed in. Again, thank you so very much.” — Klaus Lange and Kay Taylor Lange

“I’m very supportive of the Yankee staying in the park,” said Haggerty. “The Yankee is part of the fabric of U.S. history — to lose it from the park, there’s no guarantee that it will ever come back,” she said.
