An art wall entry vestibule will lead guests to a jump-elevator that will take them to the third floor check-in/check-out area. This “living room” space includes double-height ceilings, bookshelves, and a 24/7 canteenM bar. Guest rooms will include XL king size beds, wall-to-wall windows, HD TVs with a library of on-demand movies, and free WiFi. Each room will also feature an iPad that controls the blinds, the TV, the thermostat, and the lights.
