A reliable high-rise on the western edge of the centre, popular with families for its rooftop pool, spacious family rooms and easy metro links. It is a business-district base rather than a beach one, but the pool and the value make it a comfortable landing pad for exploring the city.
Our verdict
The dependable value pick for families who want a big room and a pool without old-town prices, happy to hop a quick metro to the sights.
The rooms
A tall modern tower with bright, practical rooms that mostly sleep two adults and a child, plus larger family rooms and connecting rooms that add a sofa bed or a second bedroom. Higher floors look over the city to the mountains, cots are free and the layout is easy with a stroller.
