The hotel’s 288 guest suites, each with 500 square feet of living space, were completely re-designed with new desks and wireless, high-speed Internet access. New marble-topped wet bars featuring built-in refrigerators and microwaves also were added, as well as flat-screen TVs to the rooms’ parlor and bedroom.

Additionally, the Embassy Suites updated its fitness center, added a completely new business center and created a 24-hour gift shop at the front desk. The complimentary lobby bar area also was entirely redone, and new furniture and carpeting were added to the lobby itself.

The renovation also included upgrades to its 4,000 square feet of meeting space. The hotel’s meeting rooms feature panoramic views of the city from the top floor. The hotel plans to add a new landscaping package this July.
