After having stayed in both the Venetian and the Galaxy hotel previously, we opted to book Okura based on a friends recommendation. We went in Dec 2011 and were delighted with the all-round pleasant service. What earned top points for Okura is that although we booked a non-smoking floor...surprisingly, we also could not smell smoke anywhere else in the hotel. (which is very different to the Galaxy & Venetian where every 2nd guest is smoking everywhere including the lifts.
In addition to the pleasant air,
the rooms were very clean and comfortable ... not to mention all the gadgety bits making the room a gadget-mans' dream come true.
It was so good I decided to book my husbands birthday weekend away again in Jan 2012 - it was just as good as it was the first time, so this will be our only choice of hotel going forward.
PS
Hopefully management in the neighboring hotels take heed of the smoking issues - we will not return to those until they get that right.
