Highs & Lows

  • The staff is one of the best, quickly making it a home away from home. Be sure to say hi to Lawn in the Café, he’ll get your day started out right.

  • The details are everywhere, from the Daniel Ashram cloud hanging in the elevator bank to the perfect perch for quiet working, reading or napping.

  • I can’t say enough about their restaurant Narcissa, really, you must go.

  • Even though the gym is across the street, having to walk 100 yards for a fantastic gym is much better than being stuck with a terrible one in the hotel.

  • Their coffee in the café (or your room) is amazing, but make sure they don’t charge you for a refill.

  • The standard rooms are a bit small for the price, but things change if you upgrade. Although, no matter which room you choose the view is bound to be killer.
