¡Hola a todos!
Se trata de el slogan de un hotel, no se me ocurre nada creativo...

Explanation:
Unique in the city with the four stars of distinction

No es de lo más creativo, pero se parece mucho al original y son palabras muy comunes en inglés a la hora de hacer publicidad.

Explanation:
"The most luxurious hotel (in town)".
