The guestrooms include the smaller Moderate Room that offers a sitting area near two large windows. The Superior Room is a little larger and contains a comfortable sleeping area and sitting area. Deluxe Rooms offer an oversized sitting room and the sleeping area. City or Tower Rooms offer the same spacious accommodations as a Deluxe Room, plus the addition of a marble topped bar, a separate dressing room, and a separate shower and soaking tub in the marble bath.

Studio One-Bedroom Suites offer the same luxurious accommodations as the Deluxe One-Bedroom Suites. The difference is a separate office is included with all the office hook-ups one could need. Fax, Internet access, and multi-line phone systems help make the most of a business traveler’s stay. Again, these rooms typically begin at $2,750 per night.
Presidential Suites offer grand accommodations. Separate living and sleeping quarters are only the beginning. The living area contains a gas fireplace with a marble hearth.

Finally, a private elevator leads to the Presidential Suites ensuring complete privacy. Expect to pay at least $19,000 per night for this grand suite.
The Royal Three-Bedroom Suite is spacious and homey. This suite contains two bedrooms plus a library that can be converted into a third bedroom. The window shades, lighting, and entertainment system are all operated by remote control. The attached balcony gives exceptional city views. Three full marble bathrooms ensure guests have all the privacy they need. At over 2,000 square feet of living space, guests are sure to feel comfortable. The Royal Three-Bedroom Suite is not quite as expensive as other suites, but it still costs travelers over $5,000 per night.
