Despite its ho-hum location on a busy street, this hotel scores highly for comfort, design and a happening vibe thanks, in part, to its myriad bars and restaurants, including popular live music bar–cum–Asian restaurant, Miss Wang, and its legendary Greek restaurant, Elia. All rooms come with plush beds, comfortable armchairs and heavy drapes in neutral colours.
