I loved the friendly and hospitable service. Nothing seems too hard for the staff at the Establishment. Even finding couple of bottles of bubbles late at night. Very much appreciated.
Also, the breakfast menu is divine.

The contemporary minimalist, modernist interior design inserted into the older and substantial building. Starting from the lane way reception entry, the welcoming stools in the elevators, the ultra moody lit guest corridors and then into the suite with "all" of the smart gorgeous selected finishes and soft furnishings. The bed was ultra comfortable, the layout is palatial. The guys in reception were welcoming and the surprise knock on the door with the chocolates was appreciated and enjoyed. It was a wedding anniversary, we have stayed before and we will be back next year ! Don't change a thing whatever your doing its unique and well serviced. We especially enjoy the bar located nearby. One thing I would suggest is in the bar we were looking forward to ordering a plate of olives, homos with cheese to go down with our drinks, you know that Mediterranean snack ?

What an excellent review of the Establishment experience! Thanks for taking the time to spend your special anniversary with us and we have shared the menu suggestion with our Chefs.
Next anniversary, may I recommend staying in one of our Penthouses and enjoying Mr Wong via room service. You only live once and I am sure you deserve to be spoilt!
Thanks again for the review.
