The room is smaller. It had many furniture but no space for sitting. It is UNBELIEVABLE that a five-star hotel does not have a smart television.

I enjoyed my time at the top floor restaurant. It had wonderful views over the city and the bay. my room was super comfortable, the amenities were excellent, and the pillows were wonderful. i found the location fantastic with plenty to see and explore within easy walking distance.
the minibar had a small bottle of local red wine that cost €55. the same wine can be purchased across the street for a much lower price. i think this is the highest minibar price i've ever encountered.
