| - I haven't stayed here (yet) but I feel I'm qualified to make a few observations about the brand new hotel (and offer it 5 stars, natch) because of the time I spent loitering around the lobby, outside the meeting rooms, on the 25th floor, near the pool, on the 2nd and 3rd floor areas, and so on. My friend and I pretty much saw the whole thing. Our thoughts:
Pool is small, so families/pool lovers take caution. Meeting areas: we didn't go in any of these but the photos I've seen make them look beautiful. Rooms look nice from what I've seen peeping through a random window with the drapes open. I can't say enough how nice the furnishings, lighting, carpeting, wall treatments, etc. of the common areas are. There's a very large lounge-type area near one of the meeting rooms, filled with what's essentially very tasteful if repetitive living room furniture. The accents were nice. The furniture is quite comfortable. The lobby itself is stunning. I'm hoping to check out the restaurant soon as well, but for now read the generally positive reviews of District (the hotel restaurant) under the restaurant section.
In summation, I was quite impressed with every single aspect of the hotel that I was able to experience. Even the disaster that is its exterior was relegated to nothing more than a minor quibble after checking out the splendor of the interior.
In the future, I look forward to staying here and offering my thoughts on the rooms, the staff/service, and other features that you can only experience by staying in a hotel. But from what I've seen so far, this place looks awesome.
