"Built to blur the line between place-for-tourists and place-for-locals, this four-star dazzled me with towering ceilings, walls made entirely of books, oversized tropical plants, and abundant light; the seventh-floor pool terrace serves cava and olives with waiter service from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., while downstairs a vegan spa offers another pool, sauna, and steam room and treatments such as the Eternal Lifting Facial using organic Scens cosmetics and Kobido techniques." - Isabelle Kliger, Gemma Askham
