"Sure, it's a Hilton, and hence a magnet for large groups... But a $150 million renovation in 2005 infused this place with a knockout design."

"Alongside super chef Luke Mangan’s glass brasserie and New York designer Tony Chi’s Zeta bar, there are luxurious guest rooms and relaxation suites that are divided into Zen-like zones."
Condé Nast Traveler
"The Hilton is primarily tailored to the needs of its executive clientele. Every guest room serves up the muted modernism expected of a 577-room, five-star business hotel."
