Be sure to check out Bamboo Chic, the stark floor-lit lounge serving noodles and sushi.
Time Out "Every space feels huge, but the rooms are a bit neutral; not so the sculpted steel-benched lobby, the sixth floor SPA centre (with round rooms for couples) or the spectacular Bamboo Chic bar." Full review
Star Service "Suave, stylish and contemporary accurately describe the rooms here. Each of the property's 282 units feature city views." Full review
