With an aesthetic drawing inspiration from the area's natural elements, the new hotel will be brought to life by SEMAICA, ODD Architects and Adriana Hoyos Design Studio and feature 101 sophisticated, tranquil guestrooms, including 11 suites and one Presidential Suite. Guests seeking inspired epicurean experiences will enjoy the property's specialty restaurant with a skyline view as well as a poolside lounge, while those prioritizing relaxation and well-being will appreciate its resort-style rooftop pool, spa and state-of-the-art fitness center. It will also feature approximately 610 square-meters of dedicated meeting and event space, including a 300-person ballroom ideal for corporate events or social celebrations, in addition to a signature Club InterContinental lounge.
