“My exploration of this property reveals a hotel that masterfully compensates for a less central location with truly exceptional service, particularly evident in the spacious, high-value suites and the attentive 24-hour butler service that ensures every guest need is met. The staff's dedication is palpable, from the flawlessly trained teams in the club lounge and restaurants to the warm welcomes that create a genuine sense of hospitality. It's a place where attention to detail, from a beautiful lobby to generous club benefits and beautifully appointed rooms, consistently exceeds expectations, making a return visit a clear consideration.”

Decent stay with some noise issues
wide variety stylish spot highway noise full lounge
I appreciated the generous breakfast buffet that had a wide variety of options (I loved the à la carte menu!). The 10th-floor lounge had excellent afternoon tea in a relaxed setting. I found the salon lounge near the entrance to be a stylish spot to meet.
The hotel is next to a highway, made sunbathing at the pool not very relaxing. The traffic noise was loud, and I could occasionally smell fumes. The executive lounge looked full during service hours.
