Frommer's Highly Recommended

Opened back in the 1980s, this hotel had grown sluggish until a complete renovation in 2003 brought it stylishly into the 21st century. Today the place is state-of-the-art. In the heart of the financial district, it lies a 5-minute taxi ride to the historic center. This government-rated five-star hotel is one of the largest in the city and is equipped with the latest technology, including recreational facilities. We prefer the top floors because of the panoramic views. The most personalized service is in the Executive Club. Guests here also get to enjoy the Sky Lounge on the 24th floor. Bedrooms come in a wide range from standard doubles to spacious suites. In spite of the size of this hotel, the decor in the rooms is rather cozy, and the bathrooms come with tiled bathrooms containing tub and shower. The hotel is also known for its national and international buffets. On Sundays the hotel stages a brunch for kids and their parents complete with a playing corner with games.
