Be sure to pick up the hotel's sightseeing leaflets at the concierge's desk, which give information on the city's top attractions, opening hours, and how to reach them from the hotel.

The staff is attentive and well-trained, and management goes so far as to publish tourist leaflets to major attractions, which are given away free at the concierge desk (although placing special requests in advance may be difficult as the minimal staff is quite busy).
