On the F&B side of things, the hotel will offer all-day dining, specialty, and roof top restaurants. A lobby lounge, a coffee bar, and a business class lounge will provide snacks and meals for clients on the go or in business meetings.
Its additional amenities will consist of a pool deck and bar, fitness and wellness facilities, and a nightclub.
