Local knowledge

Request a higher floor room for better natural light; ground floor and lower floors face the courtyard and can be quite dark despite the beautiful living wall.
Look up the alley entrance location on Google Maps before arriving; it is genuinely hidden and easy to miss despite signage.
Book dinner at Contraban restaurant in advance, especially on weekends; it fills quickly and staff prioritize hotel guests.
