9.5/10 from me :)

I gave 9/10 because of the disturbing spire/antenna again.

The cladding is absolutely dreadful, but it has somewhat of a nice shape.

I like its height and its got a little grace, but it isn't the most attractive to me. I don't like the thing that sticks up on its crown and i dislike its different facades. But it's still pretty nice, 7.5/10

Interesting building, but there is too much going on with the different blues, the white, the gold bars, and the weird spire on top. The crown would be awesome if it weren't for that spire.

8.5/10 nice design however the antennae sticking out the side detracts from the uniformity of the top section.

6/10 Never liked the gold details on any tower...I give it some extra points for its height though...
Entrance is tiny, with practicaly no waiting area for taxis or valet pick up (considering it is a hotel tower), which I think is going to create chaos on the street outside.

I like it, but those golden-things are a huge No-no. Same thing than in cars; I've seen some Hondas and Toyotas with Golden details (Stripes, Logo and car Name) and they look terrible. Are they customized, or do they actualy built them like that?

Other than that, I dont like it at all.
I will give it a 6.5 (that being generous).

sorry but is my opinion

I give it.. 3 or less

I've watched its progress from the start and always thought I was gonna rate it 10, sooo slim and nice facade, but now its finished there are some things I dont like about it.
One of them is those little details on the facade and the roof didn't turn out that good.
Still 9/10 cause I'm a big fan of slim towers and the blue glass is really great. Perfect for Dubai and SZ Road.
