Innovative hotel which does not forget the basics

Loved the ambiance and the attention to detail in the room. In-room dining ordering through the TV worked in some cases and did not at other times. The staff are wonderful and helpful! Breakfast was really good, they had a nice mix of local and international options. The only thing is it was a bit noisy at night.
