After it's restored, it will offer 74 suites, a regionally inspired restaurant, and a rooftop pool and bar. Guestrooms, ranging from 350 to 800 sq. ft., will feature neutral colors with gold accents, and the bathrooms will incorporate a spa-like tile design plus a spacious shower. The hotel's ninth floor will house the Presidential Suite, as well as four 14 october 2016 Spa Suites with spacious terraces that can be used for in-room spa treatments.
