Within it are. 263 rooms and 35 luxurious suites, guests can entertain themselves in an upscale lounge bar and enjoy dishes from the two featured restaurants that offer both American specialties, such as meat, as well as sushi.
The facade is beautiful, the clock tower rises above a Romanesque-style facade, marble floors and wood-paneled walls adorn the various rooms. One of the highlights is the central atrium, surrounded by pillars arched under a very high glass roof.
