In our bid to provide you with the most up-to-date information on hotel restaurants around the world, we can usually pack in the meals with the best of them, suffering through 7-course dinners just to provide our readers with the best, most comprehensive information possible.

The spa sounds especially modern, if you believe the reviewer:<blockquote><p>The glassy relaxation room has a spirally ceiling, is scattered with hippy paperbacks and has the slight feel of an upmarket dentist&#146;s waiting room.</blockquote><p>We're amandak 2009-02-27T09:11:12-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/8/28/64026/4890 <![CDATA[<p><i>We are suckers for a room with a killer view. &nbsp;We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow.
