Several of these rooms can be interconnected with other suites, making them ideal for large families or groups of friends. Each room features a kitchenette, flat-screen TV premium cable and satellite channels, free wireless internet, a CD/DVD player, coffee maker, and microwave. The boutique hotel has two swimming pools.

The stunning indoor pool is a most tranquil oasis below groundfloor level and alongside the spa and fitness center, a distinguished space housing a generously proportioned pool.
