“This hotel clearly emphasizes aesthetics, and while striking, the design isn't always entirely practical. Some rooms require a bit of agility to navigate, and thoughtful additions like shelving are noticeably absent, although the location, with its pool and access to a great bakery, is a definite plus. It's a photogenic spot, best suited for travelers who prioritize style over ultimate comfort.”
