Who it’s NOT for: Couples wanting an intimate, boutique romance — this is a large (~434–467-room) grand hotel with conference and event traffic (40,000 sq ft of meeting space); scale and bustle are the trade-off for the amenities. Design-purists seeking a singular architectural statement — it is a handsome, recently-renovated luxury hotel, not a design-led boutique; the draw is comfort and completeness, not a one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Travelers on a budget — five-star rates in the priciest part of a pricey city; the value case rests on the pool, space, and location, not the nightly number. Anyone wanting to be out on the water or the beach — this is a peninsula city hotel; families chasing sand and multiple pools should weigh a beach resort (e.g. Wild Dunes) instead. Guests who want quiet — Market/Meeting is central and busy; the location that makes it convenient also makes it lively.
Biggest surprise: the retractable-glass-roof, indoor-outdoor saltwater pool genuinely differentiates it — reviewers note it's the local five-star that lets kids swim year-round, and families explicitly choose it for that plus the central, walkable location.
Worth the money? yes for a multigen group that values the pool, room space/connecting options, and a dead-central base over boutique character.
Best room: LEAD (needs current-official corroboration): the grand suites are the multigen play — the property carries hospitality/parlor suites and event-tier accommodations, and recent renovations refreshed the guest rooms with Italian Carrara marble baths. For a family, prioritize a suite or connecting-room configuration near the pool. FLAG: the exact top-suite name and current post-renovation room/suite inventory were not confirmed on the official site this pass — verify before naming a single best room.
