This upscale chain hotel is predictable in terms of its generic decor and the features it offers, but you can't beat its central location that's right by the main train station. Its 459 rooms have a fresh, modern look and are equipped with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, though some are small. Despite the extra fee, the breakfast buffet is popular with guests, but the dining room gets easily crowded. There's also an on-site restaurant, while the SkyBar offers views of the city skyline. Other features include a well-equipped fitness room, swimming pool, hot tub, and sauna. Travelers looking for a hotel with more character should consider the nearby boutique Berns Hotel, which has classy contemporary decor, but its pool and fitness center is located off-site.
