“The multiplex entertainment facility spans the hotel’s 19th and 20th floors, and was created as part of our mission to cater to the individual preferences of each guest,” said Florencia Tabeni, the hotel’s General Manager. The 19th floor also is home to a high-tech 3D media room and the pool deck with a heated stainless steel pool and whirlpool. The 20th floor is where you find the fitness center, full-service spa and beauty salon.

There’s also a hotel within the hotel.
