The hotel offers 126 rooms, including 31 suites and 5 signature suites, combining classic elegance with contemporary comfort. Highlights include the Palm Court with its restored glass roof, two fine-dining restaurants led by Michelin-starred chefs, a 1,200 m² Sisley spa, and the Coutume concept store showcasing Belgian design.
