1. The 7th floor had the pretentiously named 'living room', with dramatic styling (chairs made of logs and fabric sculptures, as well as the front desk to the left and the bar to the right.

2. Once you enter the lobby, you feel like you're in a trendy club, but it's definitely not pretentious.

3. I can see how the hotel could give off a pretentious air as it does bear some resemblance to a New York City nightclub, but hey - you pay for security and I suppose to an extent some exclusivity.

5. We did not find the staff snobby or pretentious in any way, in fact they were friendly and very helpful (some of the hotel guests we met, were the pretentious wannabe money talkers - you know the type, all about their stuff and how much they have, lol, but the staff were professional and courteous).

8. However, although the hotel was stylish (had funky music playing in the lifts and reception area) most of the staff were unfriendly and pretentious (with an air of superiority - they sort of made you feel like they were doing you a favour by serving you).
