Ever since its construction in 2004, this gargantuan hotel has been favoured for its class as well as its location. Even though not on the shiny side of the city, the metro and Central Railway Station are nearby. A superb café in an indoor section with a view of the internal hotel rooms catches the attention of passing crowds. A real-size fake tree hanging from the ceiling adds an arty touch. All 262 rooms in this 9-storey structure are well-sized, cozy and modern. If you’ve had enough of Mediterranean tastes, try the Polynesian restaurant with its eccentric decoration. And if you’ve ever wondered what a body looks like underwater, peep in the pool from the aquarium-type glass windows situated in the fitness centre. 

262 rooms. Singles/Doubles: €90-150, Suites: €200-350
