The rooftop restaurant aims for a unique dining experience, though reports suggest the service standards may not consistently match its ambitions. I think the hotel certainly seems equipped for business travelers, with a dedicated center and proximity to key locations; leisure guests can find the location convenient for exploring cultural landmarks.”
