“This hotel stands out with its Kelly Wearstler-designed interiors and wellness focus, most notably in its Ayurvedic spa. The rooftop bar and pool area certainly make a statement, providing panoramic views and a lively social scene. I found the attention to detail-from in-room amenities to the helpful concierge service-particularly commendable, though the dining prices reflect the upscale ambiance.”
