I stayed at the IC Landmark72 on Thurs night, unless you have biz in that area, I wouldn't stay there. Its in the middle of nowhere and apx 130k by taxi to The Old City area. Today I went from the IC Westlake area(was staying next door at The Sheraton) and it cost me 70k to The Hilton, it would have been less to The Old City which is a short walk from The Hilton You can save alittle by taking the smaller car taxis, I took Mia Minh and the slightly larger Toyotas which start at 10k the smaller cars start at 6500

Also the IC has the top 10 floors in 1 tower, so you take 1 elevator to the 62nd floor(Lobby) then a 2nd to get to your room. Room was Ok as a IHG Plat they said they upgraded me, room was on the small size , arrived midnight and out the next morn so I didn't spend any real time at the IC

Only reason I stayed was rate was $104 and will get me the $100 gift card refund by staying 1 of the 2 needed stays at an IC. when I come back I wouldn't be heading back to the IC Landmark its just too far away from everything

Best hotels are either The Hilton Opera or better The Metropole (Sofitel)cant beat either, location wise, with Metropole winning out between the two
