"Once appropriately called the Glass Hotel, the Concorde has a glass canopy that curves down from the ninth story over the entrance, facing southeast for good fortune."

"The atrium lobby, with its glass-panel elevators and line drawings, is beginning to look dated, but this is still a decent hotel."
Star Service
