Generous layouts frame downtown skyline views through floor-to-ceiling glass, finished with five-fixture white marble bathrooms and tucked-away personal dumbbell sets.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An outdoor heated pool is lined with cabanas on the ground floor, joined by indoor hydrotherapy vitality pools.
The spa
Spread across 20,000 square feet, treatment rooms sit beneath crystal chandeliers and offer Cinq Mondes rituals and IN-SKIN facials.
The gym
The multi-level fitness center looks out over the city through floor-to-ceiling glass, fully equipped with Technogym cardio and strength gear.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Bloom & Bee serves dinner beneath hand-blown glass flowers, and Bouchée Patisserie bakes fresh artisan pastries daily.
The lavish luxury hotel boasts works of art from Fertitta’s private collection, along with prominently displayed pieces by Frank Stella... giving the property a museum-quality feel.
How it began
Opened in 2018 by hospitality mogul Tilman Fertitta, the 38-story glass tower houses guest rooms, private residences, and an on-site luxury motor showroom.
