Bright, bold touches, modern furnishings, plush bedding, and a 65-inch LCD TV with easy screen mirroring set the stage for a smart, stylish stay. Floor-to-ceiling windows amp up the energy with natural light and offer stunning views of the urban landscape, providing a relaxed and inviting home away from home.
