Reviewed by @saramontoyam: I felt like royalty staying here! The spa circuit with the pool and jacuzzi was exactly what I needed to unwind. The breakfast buffet is massive (and delicious!), but waking up to that incredible city view from my balcony was the real highlight. You need to experience this.
