The hotel is efficiently designed to satisfy the convenience of guests through its “one stop” layout with the lobby, restaurant and bar and meeting rooms located on the 8th floor. Guests and locals can experience the healthy, international flavors that all-day-dining restaurant MoMo Café showcases in the vibrant open kitchen and live cooking stations.
