Pick a location to match your mood: inside Madison, it’s sophisticated contemporary style as designed by Tony Chi; opt for Spice Market if you want a more rustic vibe; or go for the bustling alfresco atmosphere of Aqua—just be warned that this is where most of the food (and the bar) is found, so it gets busy. The food covers Indian, Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese and Thai.

The food covers Indian, Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese and Thai. There’s a mix of cold cuts and live cooking stations but we particularly love the range (and quality) of the meats on offer at the grill section, cooked to order and delivered to your table, as well as the foie gras corner.
Brunch: B2,350++, includes free-flow wines plus martinis. Every Sun 11:30am-3:00pm.

Our favorite brunch, being outdoors, is unfortunately closed until Nov 2010. When it’s open, you can expect unparalleled views of the river, excellent free-flow Champagne, impeccable service and a spread that looks a bit smaller than other hotels but covers all the favorites just as well. Did we mention the river?

The vast buffet reflects the hotel’s main standalone restaurants—that means Italian from Rossini’s, Thai from Basil, and seafood from The Living Room. There’s also a selection of sushi and some Indian dishes. We love the choice of desserts, particularly the chocolates. The highlight though is the top-notch jazz bands playing in the Living Room.
