“Apart from finding the exact location (///nuzzled.bits.jiffy) of the entrance the whole experience was brilliant. Arrive at reception, check your voucher in, take elevator to floor 19, check-in for your actual ticket. You are given a time slot for your meal. Then take elevator to floor 77, floor 78 (where you will dine) or floor 83 and then walk to floor 84 which is the rotating platform. Food was incredible - fresh, amazing selection, very varied from Western to Thai. Great service, well organised, brilliant value, unique experience.”
