We had afternoon tea in the Skyview Bar. The communal areas of the hotel are fantastic, the staff exceptional, every staff member we passed on our way up had a smile and said hello.

Great views from a great hotel/restaurant! People have complained about not being to go any further than 1st floor, where in fact we roamed freely in this hotel. Amazing!
