The design for the new wing is in harmony with the original hotel structure, using natural light, a four-story atrium, and striking artwork from The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art to provide continuity and a seamless transition from the existing space to the new areas. The extension of the hotel will include an additional 71 luxury guestrooms and suites, a refresh of the existing 112 guestrooms, a new light-filled lobby café, and inviting private seating areas perfect for impromptu business meetings or relaxation. Wellness is at the forefront of the expanded hotel, with a new Spa that will feature seven treatment rooms, steam and sauna, a new fitness area, and luxury locker rooms. On the second floor of the new wing, the spa opens onto a new amenity deck that features a second swimming pool, private cabanas, a neo-classical fountain and a shaded canopy that covers an extensive outside living room. The amenity deck will also be available for private events and the expansion will introduce a new meeting room and a new boardroom, providing an additional 2,400 square feet to the existing meeting and functions rooms.
