A very fine place to stay. Food is excellent. Views unbeatable. Staff very attentive. Could not be nicer.
There is nothing to complain about. One knows the cost of staying in a top of the line hotel.

Lovely hotel with superb interior design and excellent overall facilities and services.
The bathroom design in the standard room has several faults that could be easily corrected. Hard to believe that this is still unsolved.

Overall, very good!
I loved how close it is to the United Nations Headquarters, the pool, and the overall artsy vibe of the hotel. The food at the restaurant downstairs, particularly the breakfast they offer, was absolutely delicious.
The mini-bar is way too overpriced, but the daily complementary tea in your room is a nice touch. One of the employees had a "mean French girl" attitude, butchering my last name every single time she saw me and then laughing about it, which I did not appreciate - it's not a difficult surname to pronounce, and if it was genuinely hard for her to do so, I'd rather she just stopped trying... That said, the rest of the employees I've met during my stay there were extremely professional and courteous, though.

Great hotel; exceptional pool and superb breakfast.
The room was great; the upgrade to suite was very generous; the swimming pool was exceptional, as was the breakfast. The staff was very courteous and pleasant.
Morning breakfast restaurant was overwhelmed with the demand - so the waiting times for the orders was longer than one would like.

The location is far from the center, it is good location if you have a car. The price is expensive for a hotel that is away from the attractions

Was a veery good deal in terms of price/value.
Very nice, clean and spacious room. Staff is very accommodating and efficient. Very good gym, sauna and steam room.
For the 5-star hotel with excellent lobby and nice rooms the bathroom is a bit too modest and ascetic... Would be nice to stuff it with more shampoo and the body wash - had to ask to bring some.

Great stay in a very impressive hotel
This was my first time staying at this hotel. The reception staff were friendly but perhaps a bit new and did take a bit of time to check me in but made up for it by being warm and welcoming. Also there wasn't a line to check in when I arrived and I was seen to immediately. The hotel decor is lovely, and the lobby is welcoming with a lot of space to lounge around, have a drink and wait for a friend. Location wise its great - about 10 min to the airport. I had a suite on the 17th floor and had amazing views of the city and the lake. The rooms are bright and airy and spacious and well appointed. I was very impressed with the vegetarian and vegan options in the room service menu, which were more extensive than most of the other hotels I've stayed at.
A minor area of improvement would be that there could be usd charging points by the bedside. You get this at the four seasons now which is great as plugging your phone in overnight next to your bed is something we all need to do these days.

Outstanding service from the staff
The staff were exceptional. The very highest quality of service. They could not have been more friendly and welcoming - particularly Sara and Victoria in the restaurant as well as all the door men. The food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was excellent. The bedroom was perfect in terms of set up and comfort. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay.
