Fodor's Review:

This is an ultramodern hotel within the shopping, dining, and residential enclave Melrose Arch. The minimalist decor is an eclectic mix of modern and African influences, with high-tech colored lighting throughout and sculptures, baskets, and furnishings all highlighting the African locale. Even the elevators reflect this mix, with one representing the African day and the other, almost completely dark, suggesting the night. Mainly catering to businesspeople, the hotel has free high-speed Internet access in each room and a Wi-Fi hot spot in the warm mahogany-clad library bar. The rooms are well equipped and each has a view of the pool and garden. The pool area highlights the eccentric and modern taste that is echoed throughout the hotel, with trees planted in larger-than-life steel buckets and table and chairs set out in a few inches of water. Sip a cocktail here while soaking your feet in the heated pool, which has piped underwater music. Meals are offered at the stylish fusion restaurant, March.
