This is a beautiful hotel to look at but it lacks soul. Apart from the valet parking, security and bar staff other employees appeared indifferent. I was quite put out to have to pay a compulsory 22% gratuity for ordering and collecting a drink at the bar. It took the hotel three days to mend one of my son’s balcony door, which meant he only got to use it for a few hours. The hotel boasts of a personal concierge service.it took over 24 hours for ours to contact me. The receptionist gives you a lot of information when you arrive, however when it is delivered in a monotone voice, at speed, it is hard to understand! The rooms are very stylish and comfortable.
