Melrose Arch is a fun hotel. It does seem like a corporate type hotel, but with very funky decor. The pool has tables in it and giant flower pots! It's a bit wacky, but it was fun. We ate across the street at Moyo, a very neat place, five stories with sort of African fusion dishes and a great wine cellar. There were random performances throughout the meal, and women came around to the table to paint our faces. The little complex the hotel is in was nice to walk around a bit, and we fell safe.
