Concierge "Design is paramount in the ample rooms, too, where floor-to-ceiling windows, fabric-paneled walls, angular furniture, and a plethora of gadgets underscore a masculine sensibility."

Ask for the quieter rooms on the side away from Av. Kennedy.
DK Eyewitness "Compared to its competition, the five-star status this hotel claims seems dubious. That said, the premises are upscale enough to make the price tag seem like a steal."
