The lobby, bar and restaurant are all designed exquisitely well, with great attention to detail and a perfect balance of Scandinavian minimalism and warm hospitality. (The beautiful wall sconces are like nothing you've ever seen!) The onsite bar and restaurant are both delicious for bar bites or a full meal, cocktails and wine are wonderful. Both places you'll want to hang out in! The staff are youthful, energetic, sophisticated and friendly. There's no other hotel in town on this level and... the price point suggests this!
I wish the same level of design care had spilled over into our room a little bit more. The furnishings are great, but there was a tremendous amount of un-utilized space between our bed and the very distant dresser with the TV on the wall. Yet, the bathroom was as small as I've ever seen with the door nearly hitting the toilet as it opened. (The Vanity sink outside the toilet was large and wonderful though!) We had a garden room that has a nice area with fire pits and comfortable chairs outside. Very lovely overall.
Our only quibble with the hotel was the fact that even at this high price point there are absolutely no niceties given at all. (No workout room, no morning lobby coffee, no wine hour, no welcome beverage, parking is extra...) The only thing they give you that's complimentary are earplugs, which was obviously an afterthought when people must have complained about noises through the wall, though we didn't have any problems. Might stay again. ??
