Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a room on the 4th floor or higher to reduce noise from the rooftop bar and street-level activity.

  • 02

    Pre-book parking several months ahead; the hotel's 10 underground spots fill very early.

  • 03

    Reserve restaurant dinner tables in advance online, as the rooftop is popular and often full.
