The hotel is very new, and the service is excellent. You can tell a lot of thought went into the interior design—stylish and well-executed. The breakfast is also quite good; the cheese chicken wrap is delicious, though it's not available every day. On weekend evenings, there's live music at the bar, which creates a great atmosphere. I also really liked the mystery box cocktails—they were a fun surprise.

The room is quite spacious and comfortable, and since I am alone, the open bathroom concept is nice, but maybe not very suitable is I'm with family or friends. The view of the sea was also breathtaking and you can see the sunset from your room. There's also few convenient shops nearby. Breakfast selection was great and the view from the restaurant was beautiful.

    Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
