Why the Suite, 1 Bedroom, Tower tops the list
Suite, 1 Bedroom, Tower gives the clearest separation between living and sleeping space among the room types — useful if you need a small meeting area or a den to relax in without disturbing someone in the bedroom.
Some Suite, 1 Bedroom, Tower configurations include a double sofa bed in the living area or a single king in the bedroom, so they work for one or two guests who want more space and a city-view experience.
- Separate living area and bedroom for clearer work/leisure separation
- Higher-floor placement in the tower improves panoramic skyline views
- Often the best choice for longer stays where extra living space matters
| Feature | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Separate living area | Workspace and seating outside the bedroom |
| Tower location | Better city views and quieter rooms away from atrium |
| Sofa bed option | Extra sleeping surface without upgrading to another suite type |
Best view without the suite: Grand Room (1 King Bed)
Grand Room (1 King Bed) is the top non-suite pick if you want expansive city views and a larger footprint than a standard Traditional Room. The Grand Room is commonly sited in tower sections that provide panoramic outlooks.
It’s a good compromise when you value a more spacious sleeping area and a higher-floor perspective but don’t need a separate living room.
- Typically located in the tower for better skyline views
- More space than Traditional Room without suite rates
- Good for business travelers who want room to spread out
| Room type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Grand Room (1 King Bed) | View and extra space without suite pricing |
| Traditional Room (1 King Bed) | Basic downtown room and cost-conscious travelers |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom | More living space, but not always in the tower |
Best budget-friendly option: Traditional Room
Traditional Room (1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds) is the standard room offering and usually the most affordable choice. It provides a comfortable downtown base with the hotel’s signature city-window views.
Choose 2 Double Beds if you need separate beds; otherwise the 1 King Bed option will maximize sleeping comfort and desk space.
- Available in both 1 King Bed and 2 Double Beds layouts
- Good base for short business or sightseeing stays
- Easier to reserve and often the most widely available inventory
| Layout | When to pick it |
|---|---|
| Traditional Room (1 King Bed) | Solo business travelers or couples on a budget |
| Traditional Room (2 Double Beds) | Travelers needing two separate beds |
| Traditional Room (Transfer Shower) | Same layouts with an accessible bathroom option |
Best for longer stays: Studio, with Sofa bed (Malibu) and Suite, 1 Bedroom
Studio, with Sofa bed (Malibu) combines a King bed and a double sofa bed in one open studio layout — useful if you want an extra sleeping surface and a small dining or seating area without moving to a one-bedroom suite.
If you need clearer separation of spaces for extended stays, Suite, 1 Bedroom (non-tower) provides more living area and a dedicated bedroom; compare rates and availability to decide which gives better value for your stay length.
- Studio, with Sofa bed (Malibu): open plan with sofa bed for extra sleeping or lounging
- Suite, 1 Bedroom: separate rooms for longer comfort and work flexibility
- Consider the Studio (Transfer Shower, Malibu) or Suite, 1 Bedroom, Tower (Transfer Shower) if accessibility matters
| Room | Why it suits longer stays |
|---|---|
| Studio, with Sofa bed (Malibu) | Extra sleeping surface and casual dining/seating area |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom | Separate living room and bedroom for privacy |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom, Tower | All the suite benefits plus better tower views |

How to choose by purpose: business, dining, or views
Business travelers who need workspace and a quiet room should prioritize Suite, 1 Bedroom, Tower or Grand Room (1 King Bed) for the extra surface area and higher-floor placement away from the atrium.

- Business: Suite, 1 Bedroom, Tower or Grand Room (1 King Bed)
