Mannerly staff and water features immediately establish the tone of this sleek riverside resort, 10km southwest of the city. X2 has gorgeously designed rooms with slate feature walls, floor-to-ceiling windows and tasteful modern art, all facing an idyllic stretch of the river. The private rooftop sundecks are a fantastic feature and the XFloat Luxe rooms have their own private kayak docks.
You'll need your own transport. Book well ahead on weekends.
