Incredible in every respect, except they’d run out of sanitisation wipes at the gym and they weren’t replenished during my stay. Hygiene, especially with gym equipment is really important and there was no way to clean things. I’m sure it was temporary glitch.

Great hotel

Downtown luxury hotel that has good bones and amazing services. Lots of restaurants and cafes to choose from. No pool or spa though and the rooms can get really warm during the day.
