Best for working or longer stays: Regency, Suite and Atrium, Suite

Best mid-size suite: Suite (Riverbend)
Suite (Riverbend) includes a King bed plus a Twin Murphy bed, which makes it a practical choice for a small family or a party of three who want a true suite layout without stepping up to the largest suites.
The Riverbend layout usually provides a distinct living/dining area and city or river-facing windows, giving a balance of space and value.
- Best for: small families, a parent with a child, or guests who want a pull-out-style extra bed without a sofa bed

Top luxury pick: Presidential Suite
Presidential Suite is the largest paid room category on the list and is intended for guests who want maximum space, privacy, and an elevated in-room entertaining setup.
The Presidential Suite includes 1 King Bed and provides living and dining areas suitable for hosting a small private gathering or working away from the main hotel spaces. Confirm current layout and view with the hotel at booking, since specific configurations can vary.
- Best for: special occasions, executives, and guests who need separate living, dining, and sleeping spaces
- Bed: 1 King Bed

Practical picks: Room (High Floor), Room, Corner and Room, Bathtub/Shower options
If noise or accessibility is a concern, Room (High Floor) reduces street-level noise and often gives better skyline views; Room, Corner offers a slightly different layout and window placement that some guests prefer.
Room, Bathtub and Room (Shower) are the two named bathroom-configured room types — choose Room, Bathtub if you need a tub, or Room (Shower) if a shower or accessible option is preferred. The hotel also lists accessible bathrooms and roll-in shower options; request these explicitly if needed.

| Room, Bathtub / Room (Shower) | You need a specific bath/shower setup |
