We adore the spacious, contemporary design and the unfussy ambience here. Whilst designed with families in focus, it successfully appeals to the corporate and event sectors, which may give it a more corporate atmosphere during the week.

The 15-meter heated pool in the basement is a standout feature, complemented by the steam room, sauna and gym. The hotel exudes a friendly atmosphere, thanks to its youthful staff who are equipped to cater to the requirements of both discerning businessmen and families with children.
