The redevelopment project, co-designed by Heatherwick Studio and SPPARC, features early 20th-century industrial elements and Art Deco influences. The hotel offers a variety of amenities, including a dedicated on-site fitness center, direct access to a premium fitness studio, and over 900 square feet of meeting and event space.
