The lobby is sophisticated and minimalist, however very comfortable… it is sharp, modern, playful at times, and endlessly efficient. An intricate sculpture staircase in one corner and an installation of butterflies soaring up three-storeys draws attention in another. Paper-free check-in and room service are taken for granted here.
The room was amazing, with floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views to the harbor… i mean, i never been in a room with such an incredible view. Modern, bright and well equipped, with a minimalist décor of light woods and clean lines. There were plenty of high-tech gadgets including a flat-screen TV 37-inch, high definition LCD TVs with numerous satellite and cable channels. A single button on the nightstand lowered the motorized blackout shades and simultaneously turned on mood lights under the bed.
