The development will comprise a contemporary standalone building, expected to have 171 guestrooms and 70 branded residences.

The hotel will offer wellness and fitness facilities tailored for those leading active lifestyles. Within a dedicated space, guests will find a comprehensive spa providing signature wellness therapies and beauty treatments, a lap pool, a spacious fitness centre and thermal and hydrotherapy experiences.

A range of event spaces and four distinct culinary outlets will complete the offering.
