And when you spot a few herons gliding on the lake, you smile and turn around, just to check if you're still in the city. Then your eyes fall upon the city's largest pool, a garden area inviting you for a walk and restaurants waiting to treat your taste buds, before making your way to the comforts of your luxurious room.
