We ate at the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Our waiter, Hugo, was particularly courteous and attentive, ensuring our needs were met. The restaurant maintained a clean and tranquil ambiance. We would definitely go back to eat.
The best place to stay when going to see the Lion Kinf!

We enjoyed our stay. Biggest of compliments to the staff. They were all exceptionally accommodating. Taylor at the rooftop bar was beyond friendly and helpful. We cannot say enough about how great and how thoroughly great Sandro was at the Sessions restaurant! We will highly recommend Hard Rock again!
