Nice hotel in financial district
Beautiful rooms with high ceilings and extremely comfortable beds. We loved the turn down service! Although the onsite restaurant has good food, the ambiance is totally lacking for a hotel of this caliber. I will say the Cacao dessert is top notch and worth the less than stellar setting. The location is great for business I would assume. We were there for vacation, so next time we will stay in Casko Viejo.

Excellent stay. Massage with Nuria was amazing. Loved the room size and the quality of the amenities. Breakfast was very good specially on Sundays where they offer more stations. Location is convenient only 10 minute uber to el casco viejo where the nicest restaurants and rooftops are.
