Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Price is on the higher side — At 627 USD per night, it's positioned as a luxury property. Some may find better value elsewhere in the city.
- Rooms and cleanliness rated slightly lower — While still good, the 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scores 8 out of 10, lower than location and dining at 9.
- Limited on-site parking — Parking is available but not detailed; the hotel offers valet parking, and one review notes staff assisted with public parking, suggesting limited private spaces.
- Check-in only from 15:00 — If you arrive earlier, you may have to wait unless a room is ready. However, staff have been known to accommodate early arrivals with upgrades.
