If you like your hotels modern and cutting edge then this boutique establishment fits the bill. The rooms, all with Internet connectivity, are full of burnished metal and modernist furniture, while a top-storey swimming pool juts out over the edge of the building and over the street below. Part of the pool has a glass bottom so it's a veritable thrill to swim in what seems like mid air. There's also a good spa and gym.
