This four-star hotel, located just north of the Hilton, has resuscitated its reputation from the late 1990s when it was perceived as a somewhat sordid hotel where solicitations were commonplace. International management of the 27-story tower, provided by a Singapore group, now seems determined to maintain a squeaky-clean image and has improved the overall quality of stay quite a bit. Guest rooms, renovated in 2006, are bright and airy, with just enough room for a work desk, coffee table, and two chairs. Fitness facilities are extensive. The generally helpful staff speaks fairly good English. With discounts averaging 50%, this is an attractively priced, perfectly comfortable option if the Hilton next door proves too dear. Facilities: 5 restaurants; deli; lounge; 20m (66-ft.) indoor swimming pool; lighted outdoor tennis court; squash court; health club w/Jacuzzi and sauna; concierge; tour desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms
