We stayed at The Domain for four nights, in order to go to the Formula One Grand Prix. We had a lovely stay! The hotel is very modern, clean and all the staff were super friendly and attentive. We stayed on the 19th floor, and the view from our room was great! The hotel has a slightly strange layout as there isn't a 'lobby' as such as you enter the main entrance, the reception is on the 12th floor. Our room was a deluxe suite, lovely and big with loads of storage space. The bathroom & shower were great, just make sure to close the blind in the shower at night as all the door to the bathroom is glass so light spills through into the bedroom when the sun comes up! The bed was super comfy, we slept great. Only criticism about the room is the control panels, give off a super bright light at night, and the reception area lights are controlled by the key card holder in the reception area, so took a little while to figure out good light combinations! We were given welcome drink tokens which we used in the bar on the top floor, which has an amazing view for sunset & night, we also had some delicious cocktails and food after returning from the race track (where there is no alcohol) We has a dip in the pool, which has another great view, it's about 10 meters long, so not huge, but nice for a little dip. There are three loungers and towels provided, but the air con units are quite loud in the pool area so we didn't spend any extra time here. Also during our stay we had a couples Relax massage down at the Spa, and it was one of the best massages we have had. Loved it, the massage beds are heated! Amazing. The head massage at the end was so great, I find usually this part of a massage to be very brief but this one was lovely and didn't feel like just a token at the end. Lastly, breakfast was amazing. Staff were super friendly greeting us in the morning, and the eggs/pancake menu was delicious, coffee was great and lovely fresh pastries and juices. We managed some sight seeing too around the race, so definitely check out the sights in the city! Regarding the race, the free shuttle doesn't stop at this hotel but we got dropped off at the nearest shuttle hotel and got an Uber here. It's not a super friendly city for pedestrians so you'll end up in Ubers a lot! At the race track local taxis were trying to go meter free which was causing some issues in the taxi line, so we just stuck booking through Uber. Thanks for a great stay!
