Close to downtown, but with plenty of green space, this large hotel feels like a small city. The complex includes shops, eateries, meeting facilities, and a disco. Spacious, high-ceilinged guest rooms are decorated in muted greens and golds, with burnt orange accents. An official regulation-size croquet court and indoor basketball court are on the grounds, and guests can enjoy a self-guided tour (with headsets) of the artwork displayed throughout the property.
