Three convex walls of gleaming blue glass overlook the city’s favourite park, 8km from the centre. It has everything you’d expect from a top business hotel, except for alcohol in the minibar beers. The atrium is airy and there’s a revolving restaurant on top. It's only a 500m dawdle from the Elgoli metro station.
