Inside the Clubhouse, you will find:
v 138 comfortably decorated guestrooms and suites
v An Athletic Facility consisting of three international squash courts, cardio machines, a weight room, a variety of classes and a pool
v Three dining rooms, the Roof Terrace, and two bars
v Banquet and catering facilities for events from 10 to 300 people
v 50,000 volume reference Library with complimentary Wi-Fi
