Reviews
- Ian BeeAugust 2025
It is a stunning building with a restaurant on top as the effective means for getting in. It does not have a public deck (free or paid) in the truest sense. You can walk around the entire building and it feels very externally accessible and grounded in the areas. 5 stars for architecture and the feeling, 4 stars for overall experience.
