Cons

• Some users find the 'generic luxe' style lacks a unique sense of place or local character.
• The 'over-designed' or 'bling-y' aesthetic may not appeal to all tastes.

Caveats

• The brand's style is a departure from traditional luxury chains like Four Seasons or Rosewood, focusing more on a modern, design-heavy vibe.

Avoid if

• You find modern, 'design-forward' interiors to be cold or over-designed.
