Room, Pool View

This room looks over the hotel's rooftop pool on the fourth floor. The pool is heated and open all year, with shaded cabanas and glowing fire elements at night. Blackout drapes let you darken the room when you want to sleep.

The room has one king bed with premium bedding and designer sheets, and it sleeps 2 guests. That makes it a natural fit for couples or solo travelers. A rollaway or extra bed can be requested for a surcharge.

The room measures 330 sq. ft. The private bathroom has a rainfall showerhead, bathrobes, towels, a hair dryer and designer toiletries including shampoo and soap. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request.
