The design includes a street level landscaped courtyard offering an urban oasis retreat to both hotel guests and the public. Other amenities include a pool and spa terrace as well as multiple landscaped sky terraces. Public art, landscaping and water sculptures are juxtaposed with in the multilevel atrium lobby. Guest suites wrap around a fourteen story high atrium that incorporates natural day lighting via a roof skylight as well as through a window wall where suites are stepped back. The sculptured stepped-back design allows for the curving window wall to rise up to a boat shaped transparent glass element. At night the internal illumination from the atrium window wall creates a landmark beacon and gateway at the north end of Central Avenue.
