Scene
Mid-range, value property with grand lobby
The Silka Far East Hotel is a mid-range property with a grand lobby decorated in a regal, yet tasteful, manner. Two life-size bronze statues sit outside the hotel’s doors. The lobby has high ceilings with decorative brown drapes hanging halfway down the wall to create a dramatic look. Walls and artwork in tones of gold and
coral add an almost regal-feel to the space. Elevators take guests to their
rooms. This property offers a peaceful, cozy place to stay but doesn't excel in amenities or deliver a particularly stylish atmosphere. Some business travelers are drawn here for the meeting spaces.
