“Here's my take: the neo-Gothic architecture houses a sanctuary of both heritage and modern design, most notably the exposed brick mingling with commissioned graffiti. I especially like the rooftop pool, promising a tranquil escape with views rarely found elsewhere in the city. For wellness, the spa integrates high-end treatments for complete rejuvenation.”
