"Hermes is next to the Central Hotel, with similar amenities, but not quite as swishy."

Concierge
"Most objects in the 52 rooms here are amoeba-shaped and electric-ice-cream-colored—because this is Karim Rashid's first hotel, and that is what he does."

"This is an ideal base for schmoozing, but not for sightseeing—it’s a 35-minute metro ride from the city center."
