Fodor's Review:

This surreal "urban spa" is housed in a converted 1950s textile factory with a lobby that looks like a design museum: billowy fabrics serve as bathroom doors, and bedrooms have sleigh beds. The furniture is a mix of over-the-top Louis XV and postmodern pieces. Exercise addicts find Agua (the "holistic bath house") and the indoor-outdoor fitness classes to be just what the doctor ordered. The Asian-influenced restaurant Suka merges Malaysian and British cuisine in dishes like seared miso tuna, and papaya-and-pork belly salad, but prices are not cheap (£6 for a side order of steamed rice, anyone?). The elegantly landscaped courtyard forms a romantic retreat in the city, especially late at night, by candlelight. Pros: popular with design mavens; your every whim gratified. Cons: "designer cool" can be self-consciously hip; bar and restaurant are so exclusive it's hard to get in.
