Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Zendai Thumb Plaza sits right outside the lobby, and Century Park's tree-lined paths are a short walk away.
The rooms
Guest rooms use an all-white palette, keeping interiors bright, quiet, and simple above the plaza.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A timber walkway crosses the outdoor lap pool, which sits among mature trees and opens for the summer.

Yar Chi Ting
Red armchairs sit across parquetry floors beside a backlit bar, where seasonal afternoon tea is served beneath an illuminated bead curtain.
