Geometric Art Nouveau pattern adorns the elevator doors, matching the yellow-and-blue abstract corridor carpet.

The elegant Deluxe King Room had a sleek, contemporary design, furnished with a sumptuous bed dressed in luxurious linens, a 42-inch flat-screen TV and striking maple cabinetry inlaid in black. The spacious bathrooms featured a deep tub, separate rainfall shower and Red Flower toiletries. But our favorite room amenities were the practical items, a full-sized nail file and a shoehorn to name a few.
