Pourquoi les gens l'adorent

  • The only rooftop pool deck on the Westside (Calabra)
  • Interiors that feel like a curated art museum
  • Surya Spa's authentic Ayurvedic treatments

En bref : A stunningly designed social hub where you'll pay a premium for the vibe, the valet, and the view.

Évalué par @luxetravelgirl: I spent my birthday here and it was perfect. The gym is top-tier for my morning routine, and the design details in the room are just unmatched. Definitely get a terrace room for the extra space and fresh air!

Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit

The hype

Guests are obsessed with the decor and the rooftop views but frequently sticker-shocked by the fees and service lapses.

Reality check

Multiple reviews mention 'heavily used' furniture, stained upholstery, and a sense that the maintenance hasn't kept up with the high traffic.

  • You are an influencer or design aficionado
  • You want a buzzing social scene right in your hotel
  • You prioritize aesthetics over absolute quiet

Propreté et entretien

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, though some reports of missed dust and rushed turnover.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Stone and tile are usually spotless, but watch for wear on fixtures.
  • Maintenance: High traffic is taking a toll—scuffed baseboards, stained rugs, and worn furniture are common complaints.
  • Linens & towels: High-quality Bellino and Fili D'oro linens, usually crisp and fresh.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells amazing (custom candle), but some rooms can have a lingering musty or cleaning product smell.

Génie des chambres

Meilleurs choix

  • 3rd Floor rooms facing 7th Street for the best chance of quiet
  • Premier King for the extra square footage and lounge area

Chambres à éviter

  • Rooms directly below the rooftop pool/bar (6th floor)
  • Rooms near the service elevators/doors
  • Standard rooms if you need workspace (can be tight)

Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller

“I am a light sleeper and would love to request a room on a lower floor (ideally 3rd floor facing 7th St) away from the rooftop bar noise and service elevators. If available, a room in the Landmark building would be preferred for the quieter atmosphere.”
