This is a beautiful property. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The staff at the hotel are very well trained and will do everything they can to make your stay memorable. Breakfast is fabulous. We did not try Nobu. We highly recommend this hotel to any discerning traveler.

Terrible service. They seem desperately understaffed. You walk through the hotel and it sometimes feel like no one even works there. Also the staff they do have are badly trained, so the overall level of service is no way near what you’d expect from this level of hotel. Save your money and stay at the nearest Holiday Inn.
