Scene
A quiet, residence-style property with a bright and modern lobby
Travelers and long-term residents stay at this high-rise property, which opened in 2015. It’s a quiet place where guests don’t interact much, other than perhaps at the fitness center or pool. The hotel attracts lots of families, and its central location near downtown and the convention center brings in a good deal of business travelers. With a two-night minimum required, it’s geared more toward longer stays. The lobby is sleek and spacious, with bright yellow, modern seating, and paneled walls in brushed gold, but while attractive, it doesn't invite lingering.
Location
In Southbank, near restaurants and shops, about a 15-minute walk from the CBD
