Lonely Planet review

This is where conspicuous consumption, and even more conspicuous everything else, combine to create one the country's most lavish places to sleep. Where other places have 'Superior' or 'Standard' rooms, Crown Towers only starts at 'Deluxe', and you'd better believe it.

Rooms have better views, gadgetry, opulence and original artworks than most of us could ever imagine. Add to this the fact that someone else has to keep it clean and that the staff is used to dealing with high-rollers and you have quite a cocktail. With a safe in each room, you'll never have security issues. In fact if you opt for the most opulent accommodation of all and stay in a villa on one of the top floors the only issue you're likely to have is how to return to a normal-sized life once you leave this temple of Mammon.
