Ranging from 44 to 172 square-metres, the guest rooms are among the largest in the city.

Additional restaurants and bars include URBAN Café & Lounge where guests can create their own tea blend from a herb trolley with over 18 infused fresh herbs, The ZUK Bar featuring artisanal and classic cocktails as well as Nordic cuisine at daytime, and Beans & Grapes serving wholesome comfort food and beverages by day and Asian-inspired tapas paired with wine by night.
