-(l)-luxury hotel

Opening January 2003. Delicate and intriguing, the hotel was created as balm to the jangling nerves of jaded international travelers. Forget the mineral water; sip a tart, dry Martini in the opulent bar and enjoy the Continentale's open areas, filled with spectral drapes and light pink, lemon and pistachio green tones, crafting a bright, almost shimmering effect. Guestrooms have window seats, leather furniture and desks disguised as trunks allowing you to write, relax or think. Time plays a subtle role in the design philosophy of the Continentale, and its scattered collection of clocks and watches will help you remember to take a break, whichever time-zone your body is currently in. 43 rooms including one Penthouse suite. LCD Satellite TV, DVD player, CD Player, modem line, air conditioning, safe, newspapers, minibar, Limousine service upon request.
