As lovely as the rooms are, it's the public areas that steal the limelight. At the hotel's heart is a cathedral-like atrium. Topped by a colossal blue-glass dome, this sensational space features a tropical garden, complete with palm trees. A twin staircase sweeps up the middle, connecting the lobby to the overhead gallery floors. Close by, the lounge-bar, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, is filled with fashionable cream sofas and French-style salon chairs dressed in zebra stripes.

The restaurant is also very chic. Think striking black and white chequered floors, crisp white tablecloths and modern cream-coloured chairs. And the food is just as good as the setting, with lavish buffets the mainstay.
