Venue Testimonials
It was an amazing place to stay. The attention to detail in everything from light fixtures to furnishings was exquisite. The location was great as lots of points of interest were a good walk or taxi drive away.

This hotel exceeded all of my expectations and they were high to begin with. From pre-arrival communications to check-out, the staff was just amazing. The hotel's design is fun, rich and comfortable.
Greg F
L’Oscar embodies what 5 stars really mean. The food and cocktails are incredible but I should stress that you should make room for dessert as their pastry chef is top notch. The rooms are wonderful and beds super comfortable. They are also an events hotel: I have done two events in their beautiful meeting rooms that were incredibly successful. I cannot recommend them enough. When you talk about amazing service and beautiful hotel they live up to what a 5 star hotel should be.
