Rough Guide
Lonely Planet "The 64-rooms are not as much fun as the marble courtyard bar open noon to midnight, where waiters in bow ties treat you like a homecoming amigo, troubadours strum weepy ballads, happy hour lasts till 8pm and the bartender mixes a mean margarita"
Rough Guide "Even if you’re not staying, try to
stop by for a superb margarita in the lobby bar"
