It's all about clean lines in this modern hotel, from its eye-catching red building to open-plan bedrooms without a scatter cushion in sight. The lobby is the place to pose, whether pointing out a local attraction on the "doodle pillar" by illustrator Dave Draws or in front of one of its regular displays.
Friendly and helpful receptionists are dressed in smart-casual clothes and offer a warm welcome. Staff in the restaurant are enthusiastic about explaining its slightly confusing concept. There's a small gym in the hotel as well as a sauna and steam room. Treatments can be arranged through an independent company too.
