    Beautiful hotel, amazing staff, incredible room views, a spa perfectly hidden away for an urban retreat and an amazing pool lounge area. This just may be my next stay-cation!

    Everyone at the spa is fabulous! From Oliver at the front desk to Randall and Abi for facial and spa, it was a very friendly and comforting atmosphere.

    This hotel is amazing and mostly due to the staff but the restaurant, pool deck (heated with music) and fab rooms & location. Perfect mix of urban chic and functional. Best bed in the city too!

    Nice hotel in great location. If you have a room facing the tram line you'll hear it buzzing all the time.

    This property is nice, staff are friendly be warned however because they charge a $20/night “amenity” fee to everyone whether booked direct with Kimpton directly or not.

    The actual hotel is really contemporary and luxurious.. The rooms however were whack. Broken tv, broken blow dryer, bathroom door doesn't shut, etc! Plus $30 "upgrade" for two beds instead of one king
