Hotel is beautiful. Great views of the city at night from the 20th floor at the restaurant. Check in/out is also on the 20th floor. They do provide breakfast for a fee whether it be through room reservation or pay at the host counter that morning. Breakfast has a little more American style mix with the traditional foods. It does have a pool and you have to wear a cap in order to use no excpetions even for men or chidren. There is a spa but didn't get a chance to use it. Staff was helpful with scheduling taxi's the night prior. Oh so you know, if you want to use the paid bag transportation serive, so you don't have to haul your luggage up & down the staris on the subway/trains, you'll need to schedule 3 days ahead of time. You'll need to give them 2 days to transport. We found this out when we want to use that service and unable to since we waited to long. I want to point out that the staff are very kind and helpful and went above and beyond for us. We had them call a restaurant for us that didn't have English speakers and let them know we were running late and then got us a taxi right then and there so we didn't have to uber or take the subway. I would stay here again.
