With 322 guest rooms, including 2 model rooms, Standard rooms, 2 Bay-Suites, as well as the prestigious Governor Suite and Presidential Suite, the design ethos revolves around seamlessly merging the original landmark structure of the building with its rich cultural heritage.

The approach is marked by a commitment to delicacy and detail, ensuring that every aspect of the design reflects the brand's elevated standards.
