What I find good

Chef Peter Knogl cooks more determined than ever against the elated panorama. Sure he could make his Mediterranean inspired menus differently, but certainly not any better.

What I don't find that good

The rooms conceived for conference members in the new building present themselves in an internationally interchangeable hotel-chain look.
