Great Location, Clean and perfect service and staff

Carlos Brazil

the concierge was great! incredible dinner recommendations every night.

Thompson United States of America

The hotel is beautiful in a central location but there is a lot of construction in front of the hotel. Try to book an interior room. Rooms are elegant and have a Nespresso machine for coffee lovers. The buffet breakfast was delicious and I like that the staff gave out gloves to people helping themselves at the buffet. Aldo loved the hot stones message I received. Fantastic! The concierge was very helpful and the staff very courteous.
