For maximum pleasure secure a room overlooking the park of the same name adjacent to this independently owned hotel, which is also beside the Dodder River. Two of the expensive suites even have large balconies with views of the park or the leafy suburbs. Relaxing shades of cream and white predominate in the spacious rooms, along with splashes of red; all have individually controlled air-conditioning, a large desk, and two telephone lines. The hotel's large, light-filled lobby has floor-to-ceiling windows and a slanted glass roof. The spacious bar, terrace lounge, and restaurant are Japanese-inspired minimalist in style. You can dine on the restaurant terrace in warm weather. Pros: independently owned hotel; terrace dining in summer; Sunday jazz buffet is a treat. Cons: looks like an office block; rooms not too exciting; a bit outside the city center.
