Spa treatment was divine, and all the staff were really lovely and helpful. Next time I stay, I will aim to get a room that looks more towards the harbour, rather than between buildings, as those floors-to-ceiling windows are beautiful.

The whole experience was extraordinary!!! Rooms were clean. The bedding and pillows were amazing. Concierges were so helpful, friendly, informative, polite and kind. Never had such speedy services from housekeeping to bellmen. Loved all the provided bath amenities. They were good quality without the overwhelming fragrance. The only thing missing was a jacuzzi after a cold evening swim. Location was absolutely phenomenal and the pastries at the coffee bar were outstanding. There are restaurants all over the area. Haymarket food court was epic and within walking distance. There is a beautiful long running trail along the water and the light rail station is literally across the street. I would most definitely stay here again.
