What an amazing hotel. Architecturally really interesting and some neat background history too. The staff was extremely polite and helpful, which makes such an important impression. Lots of fun restaurants and good shopping surrounded the hotel. Everything at the property was super-clean and the room was new, modern and very cool. The rooftop pool looked great and was heated, but the weather wasn't cooperative. I didn't partake, but it was clear that the rooftop bar was fun. I liked the eco-policy there: each day you opted to decline having your room made up, you got a food credit at the restaurant. Nice. I'd gladly stay again.
