What guests say about the pool
In their own words
The hotel offers a serene oasis when you are ready to step away from the bustle of the city, with a world-class restaurant, a rooftop dipping pool, an amazing spa and even a garden where you can wind down.
The common areas are dark and atmospheric: the spa-only lap pool backlit with a deep green, the steam room with tiled loungers and the relaxation room’s tan spa beds invite you to sink deeper into relaxation.
