The Suite Experience

I had the pleasure of staying in the Garden Suite, a spacious 87 sqm (940 sqf) haven of luxury featuring vintage wallpaper with icy hues, a signature wicker hanging chair, and faux fur accents. This contemporary living space boasts a private garden terrace with sweeping city views, a cozy en-suite bedroom with a canopy bed, walk-in wardrobe, and a separate living room with a large sofa that converts to a queen-size sofa bed and guest bathroom.

The spacious marble-clad master bathroom includes a walk-in shower, separate deep-soaking bathtub, mirror-embedded television, and heated floors. An in-room iPad allows guests to control lights, curtains, and thermostat, order room service, book valet service, and listen to the radio station of their choice.

The luxury Frette bed linens, plush bathrobes, and slippers provide a touch of opulence, while practical amenities like an iron and ironing board, hairdryer, and Lululemon yoga mat cater to the needs of the modern traveler.

For entertainment, the suite offers 46-inch and 52-inch LCD televisions with satellite cable and in-house movie channels. The television embedded in the bathroom mirror is a delightful touch, allowing guests to relax in the bathtub while catching up on their favorite shows. The functional iPad for room controls, entertainment, and hotel services, as well as an iPod docking station, ensures guests stay connected and entertained throughout their stay.
