From the exterior the hotel is modern with large rotating doors and lots of glass. It is a high-rise building with 13 floors. The lobby area is at the top of a small flight of stairs. The front desk is long and manned by helpful staff. The space is light due to the large amount of glass used in the building.
The hotel will appeal to businesses as it has eight meeting rooms. However, it is also a viable option for tourists looking for the luxury of a 5 star hotel in a central location.

The hotel has an outdoor pool (approximately 8 metres in length by 4 metres wide) and solarium on its roof. It also has a fitness centre and spa with a sauna.

Nobody likes waiting around in long queues to get their COVID test. The Express COVID testing service we recommend only works by appointment ensuring that you get tested when you need to without having to queue. Getting your COVID test in the city centre before your flight or cruise offers many advantages over getting tested in the Airport or from a cruise liner. You have your certificates on time without a rush, you have time to correct inaccuracies on your certificate and you have time to re-arrange your flight or other travel plans if you should test positive.
