This is a lifestyle hotel that reaches out to a broad range of interests, from high end leisure trippers and families with children, to business travellers and the MICE crowd in search of a decent convention jam in luxe surrounds with an informal vibe. There’s a kids’ club to keep the young and restless entertained, alert, amused, and challenged, while at the other end of the spectrum, pin-stripers can enjoy the benefits of 800sq m of conferencing space for small corporate meetings or state-of-the-art events for anywhere between 500 guests theatre style (in the ballroom) to an intimate 60 for a banquet (in a meeting room). What it does is bring families and corporates together in a brilliant meet-and-play environment. The recreation action is focused on the 3rd floor podium that manages a fun convergence of an infinity pool (with views of course), a pool bar, a gym with heated sauna, fitness centre, and wellness therapies for tired muscles or beauty treatments at The Spa Collection. it's time to throw off your city clothes, sip a molecular cocktail, and start livingAfter hours, sip a bespoke ‘molecular’ sundowner at The Pod, enjoy DJ evenings of a weekend, fashion shows, swimwear extravaganzas and synchronised dancing.
