Athenaeum InterContinental by IHG
Great breakfast. Awesome high end restaurant on top floor plus a good one on the main floor. Reasonably close to bus tour pickup point. Close to tram that takes you to central city. Bit of a walk to the metro but one can take the tram to the metro. Surrounding area is run down but felt safe walking ...
