The Hilton's two-story lobby is an oasis of serenity, with glittering brass accents, tall ficus trees and white-gloved bellhops. The fitness center is a complete athletic club with aerobic fitness area, nautilus equipment, lap pool, whirlpool, steam room, sauna, massage therapist and tanning beds. Dining venues include Andiamo, which serves American and Italian cuisines; the oh-so-formal Gaslight Club; Java Coast, which specializes in - what else? - coffee, cappuccino, espresso, pastries and sandwiches; and Sports Edition, the typical sports bar.

The 858 guestrooms are festooned with earthy hues accented by dark-wood furniture, gold-framed mirrors, upholstered armchairs. All accommodations have mahogany desks with leather chairs and dial-up Internet access. Special sound-resistant windows help create a peaceful, cozy environment, despite the jets taking off. Extra-special touches like mini bars, wake-up calls, turn-down service and complimentary weekday newspapers are sure to please discerning travelers.

Being centrally located at this constantly buzzing airport, the Hilton Hotel also constantly buzzes with leisure and corporate guests lounging on lobby couches, talking business in the café, banging on laptops, chatting on cell phones or plotting their vacation itineraries.
