Lonely Planet Review

The giant entrance doors stand ajar throughout most of the day, awakening the curiosity of passers-by. Interest is piqued further by the street-level White Bar, which is exactly what it says it is, and sets a chic tone for the rest of the property.In a completely renovated building with high vaults in the facade are 31 spotlessly - you guessed it - white rooms. There are high ceilings, enormous beds (room types are classed as M, L and XL!) and lots of detailed touches (LED lighting, TFT TV screens and the retention of many beautiful features of the original building, such as the main marble staircase). There are occasional exceptions to the overwhelming white rule. Some of the floor tiles, for instance, are black. And you can play with the lighting at night to create more subtle effects. In some parts of the establishment it all gets a bit psychedelic at night. Other nice details include the endless free coffees (great when working on the communal computer).
