Its proximity to tech hubs and free airport pickup cater to the professional on the go, while on-site dining and wellness facilities provide essential downtime. The hotel's Buddhist-inspired decor struck me as a particularly nice touch, offering a unique, tranquil atmosphere within the bustling city.”
