General manager Luigi Romaniello is gearing up to meet the needs of these captive markets with a range of services and facilities. The hotel features 189 rooms and suites, 58 luxury full-serviced apartments and 79 residences and nine restaurants — ranging from Catalan and Italian to Modern Lebanese and Indian.

Extensive MICE facilities include 1636m² of indoor meeting facilities, two ballrooms, fully-integrated video conferencing facilities, six boardrooms and 24-hour service business centre.
