We stayed in one of the suites which was an absolute pleasure...spacious and comfy. All staff were helpful and friendly, especially the concierge we met on arriving and leaving "Jose"...big shout out to him. 😀 Location perfect as we went to Civic Theatre and wanted to be near...all in all a lovely weekend, and would highly recommend the Horizon if looking for Hotel to stay in CBD.

We drove there and was greeted by the most helpful valet we’ve ever had. Jóse was truly a great service staff we’ve met. The other service staff were also just as helpful.
