Art deco interiors soften the edges of what is otherwise a sleek, modern luxury hotel a few blocks from Shuishang Park. Fresh flower arrangements and in-room tea sets give the rooms a quieter, more residential feel than the lobby's polished ambition might suggest. Deep-soaking tubs and city views take care of the rest. The staff are the kind who notice before you ask, which either charms you or keeps you on your best behavior.
