Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Natural daylight streams through a glass ceiling into the cool, white-marbled lobby, with brass chandeliers hanging to just above head height. A huge mural stretches the length of the reception area, its shades of deep-blue picked up in the cushions of the rattan easy chairs. Clientele consists of business and leisure travelers.
Amenity highlights: The hotel is built around a traditional water garden, with a courtyard, fountains, and carved stone lions. Diverse dining options include French and Cantonese. Recreational facilities include a 30-foot pool, fitness center, and traditional acupuncture and massage. A business center provides translation services and Internet access (surcharges).
Insider tip: Silk Alley, two blocks away, offers a lot more than silk. Shoppers can haggle over leather goods, shoes, watches, trinkets, and souvenirs.
