Theres a boutique feel to the Oriental Residence despite the generous room sizes. Entry level Grande Deluxe rooms start at 45 sqm and thanks to an ergonomic design the room feels even larger, with many appliances stored within a faux-period wall display which looks like vintage luggage, covered in thick leather straps. Of the Suites, the one bedroom units are the most popular room type and at 70 sqm offer space for a well equipped kitchen, ornate dining table, comfy sofa and with the same audio-visual facilities that come as standard: state of the art 42 LCD TVs in living room and bedroom, cables to connect a camera or other device to the television and Ipod docking station - all neatly arranged in a room of pastel creams and blues.
