The lobby will be reconfigured to offer guest check-in kiosks and a unique reflecting water-fire feature. The hotel will also be unveiling a new contemporary restaurant concept and a dramatic lobby level wine bar that will welcome local as well as hotel guests.
The hotel offers more than 30,000 square feet of newly renovated meeting space, which can be configured to accommodate both large and small meetings and events. Wireless high-speed Internet access throughout the building meets the technology requirements of today’s business travelers.
