There is also a sauna and a steam room for total relaxation after a day of sightseeing.

The hotel frequently hosts local DJ sets and live music in the lobby bar, creating a sophisticated and energetic atmosphere for your evening drinks. The unique layout of the hotel means you’ll find plenty of "Instagrammable" corners, including the famous giant striped bear sculpture that welcomes you in the lobby.
Family Amenities
Families are welcome at this stylish retreat. You’ll find that the spacious room layouts and the option for interconnecting rooms make it a comfortable choice for those travelling with children.
