You can also choose from the Junior Suites, Executive Suites, Diplomatic Suites and the Presidential Suite which is a two-story penthouse with killer views (pictured above.)<p>The rooms have very modern minimalist design and it seems as if no expense was spare on the bathrooms. juliana 2007-09-04T11:18:02-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
