It was a hotel that was shut down a while ago and then reopened again a few weeks (or months?) ago, probably specifically for the large conference I attended. The hotel shines with the past luxury (at least in my room), but desperately needs renovation from top to bottom. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was fine, but worn out. To some extent the hotel leaves an impression of a deserted ghost-like hotel, even though, as I was told, they were fully booked.
