Rooms
- We were in a Junior Suite which was incredibly spacious. The towels, pyjamas, robes, slippers were all of incredible quality. The balcony was very spacious as well and had great views of the city. The bed was very comfy as well. Particularly loved how high tech the rooms from ordering food to controlling, curtains, temperature, lights, etcs
