Elevating Events: Transforming Spaces for Unforgettable Gatherings
The hotel’s 35 event spaces and meeting rooms, including two dedicated hybrid meeting rooms and three grand ballrooms, are undergoing extensive renovations to create flexible and inspiring venues for both large and intimate gatherings.

The refurbishment will completely transform every aspect of the hotel, from our restaurants and bars to our bedrooms, suites, and meeting and event spaces. This transformation will elevate the guest experience and solidify our position as the preferred choice for business and leisure travellers and corporate and private events of any scale.
