Press Quotes
"The interiors have been kept deliberately clear of ornamentation. Materials include pale cream Italian marble, wenge wood, glass and chrome - the wall behind reception being a perfect example of all of them interacting. Glass is the dominant one. Particularly the deep coral orange glass sculptures of Romanian born Ioan Nemtoi, from which the hotel gets its corporate identity colour." Sleeper Magazine 06
