Guest rooms at the Sofitel start on the 36th floor, so you’re guaranteed views that will make you giddy. The property is of a high international style but entry-level rooms are awfully expensive for what they offer and somewhat dated. You pay for wi-fi and parking here, and the hotel entrance can be relentlessly busy on a workday.

There's a restaurant and bar on level 35 and a high tea lounge for afternoon decadence. Check the website for special dinners and high teas.
