“What stood out to me was the rooftop dining, where the city unfolds beneath you. Spacious rooms, some with mini-kitchens, add a comfort level that goes beyond the standard hotel experience, and the ground-floor bakery offers a sweet welcome. The hotel strikes a balance between a convenient city location and a relaxing retreat.”
