Full Review

Scene

Modern hotel with a business vibe

Built in 2011, TIME Grand Plaza Hotel has held onto its shiny look. The exterior of this low-rise building has the look of an apartment block rather than a hotel, but the interiors are decidedly hotel-like, with a minimalist marble-floored lobby with a wall of reception counters and a small seating area with a few cream and gray upholstered chairs and sofas. Most guests are traveling for business, but the hotel is also popular with leisure travelers, particularly those needing access to the nearby airport.
