Work out in the gym, challenge someone to ping-pong, then switch off in the sauna or hot tub. Concierge, gift shop and 24-hour room service keep things smooth. Complimentary wired and wireless internet is available throughout the property.

A 24-hour business center, express check-in and high-speed wired and wireless internet support work trips. Meeting space and a 2,949 sq ft (274 sqm) conference center handle events, and an airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.
