We spent one night at a well-known hotel after visiting friends in the city. We aimed to indulge ourselves and specifically chose this place for its luxurious reputation and iconic architecture. Our room on the 16th floor offered a truly spectacular view. Waking up to the city skyline, especially from the bed and bathtub, was undeniably the highlight of our stay. However, I anticipated a lot more from a hotel of its stature and price. The check-in process was surprisingly lackluster, feeling no different from a budget accommodation. The reception staff were not particularly friendly or inviting, and the entire interaction felt hurried and impersonal. It gave the impression that we were being assessed based on our appearance. We were dressed casually for travel, but that should not matter, especially in a hotel that prides itself on luxury. The room itself was acceptable, but aside from the view, it lacked a sense of luxury. The design felt rather ordinary, and the layout was somewhat awkward, particularly with a lamp placed in an odd spot in the room. Nothing was particularly wrong, but nothing stood out either. The building is remarkable, and the views are truly unforgettable. I would suggest staying here for the experience of the iconic venue and the scenery alone. However, if you seek genuine luxury service and ambiance, this hotel falls short.
