9.4/10 Exceptional! (76 reviews)

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in a while. They have a popular restaurant on site and a very nice roof top bar. The hotel is gorgeous and rooms are very chic and cozy. Most bars are walkable from this location too. Johnny helped check us in and was incredibly kind and created such a memorable experience for us. I have already recommended this hotel to others and will definitely stay again.
