“Housed in a former zoological institute near the station, the hotel's themed rooms-zoology, botany, geology-offer a playful, learned escape. I particularly appreciate the rooftop bar; its panoramic views give a sense of the city beyond the hotel's immediate bustle, while on-site dining allows guests to peek behind the scenes through a kitchen workshop.”
