English term or phrase: One uncomprimising stay.
Hola! Me confunde un poco esta idea... ¿uncompromising stay?

Encontré algunas opciones en la red y en mis dict. pero ninguna me resulta lo suficientemente "bonita" o "atractiva" para un brochure de turismo.

Contexto:

"A few steps to the West (from the National Theater) you will find the Grand Costa Rica Hotel and its legendary Cafe. One uncompromising stay."

Ideas???

Thanks,

Hellen

Una estancia impecable
Explanation:
The meaning of compromise here is similar to transigir in Spanish. It means that you won't have to settle for seond best, that everything will be perfect (i.e. you won't have to compromise and say, "OK, I'll take the second best champagne you have, since you are out of the best one").
I don't know if "sin transegencia(s)" would work, it sounds wrong to me.
"impecable" is my choice, as many synonyms for uncompromising (such as flawless, peerless, immaculate, etc) are translated with imecpable.

This is much better, and it also something I have heard many times before!!

" Una estancia sin compromisos .. "

This has the same meaning as the example.

Yes, that is it. A hotel stay where you don't have to settle for anything less than what you really want. I have seen "sin compromiso(s)" numerous times in travel ads, etc.

Asker: ¿Como "una estancia sin restricciones"?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Eloi Castellví Alonso: De la tuya me gusta más que usas la palabra "estancia". El error ha estado en poner "impecable" cuando hay equivalencias más directas, EN MI OPINIÓN. Si no hubiera sido por eso, te hubiera votado a tí.
9 mins
  -> Me hiciste pensar para una forma mas equivalente: "Una estancia sin compromisos ..." :)
agree  Silvia Brandon-Pérez: Pues a mi me gusta impecable, porque para mí conlleva ese sentido de no tener que hacer compromisos; es una estancia perfecta.

one uncomprimising stay.
una estadía espectacular


Explanation:
Creo que aquello del café es una característica más, se refieran , en esencia al sevicio y espectacularidad del hotel. (es monumento nacional).

Stay también puede ser "visita", pero ignoro el resto del contexto, pero estancia, en muchos países lo entendemos como una hacienda de campo destinado a la cria de...,
estadía como permanencia es más común..

A pesar que uncomprimising es riguroso, inflexible,inquebrantable, sereno, etc., creo que en este contexto se refieran a óptimo.(inigualable), lo mejor.
