Frommer's Review

Set just over a road from Echo Point, this Victorian country-house hotel -- a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World -- is a full-service yet cozy establishment. Rooms are spacious, expensive, and furnished with antiques. Most have king-size beds. Those with views are more expensive. The living areas are just as grand, with roaring log fires and more antiques. Views are impressive, especially from the lounge, which overlooks the Jamison Valley. On the grounds is an 1889 cottage. Meant for two, it has a sitting room, a bedroom with a four-poster bed, a Jacuzzi, an intimate fireplace, and its own gardens. Among the other offerings at Lilianfels are a billiards room, a library and reading room, and a lawn for French boules. The restaurant here, Darley's, serves great Contemporary food; and a two-course meal will cost around A$68 (US$61/£30) per person. It's open for lunch on Sunday, noon to 2:30pm, and for dinner Tuesday to Saturday, from 6:15 to 9:30pm.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; small indoor pool; health club w/flotation tank; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; bike rental; tour desk; secretarial services; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
