Room Genie
Best picks
- Junior Suite (e.g., Room 702) for significantly more space and a soaking tub
- High-floor rooms (7th-8th) facing the street for city views without the bar noise
Rooms to avoid
- 9th floor rooms directly under the Celeste Solar Bar if you sleep before 1am on weekends
- Lower floor interior rooms if you crave natural light
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would love a room on a high floor (7th or 8th) facing the street for the best view, but please ensure I am not directly below the rooftop bar to avoid noise. A room with a bathtub would be a huge plus.”
