Two numbers circulate. The suite's own page and the rooms overview say 875 sq ft; teaser cards on other room pages say "over 1,000 square feet". We print the figure from the suite's own page.
What 875 square feet buys
Roughly two and a half Standard Kings. The extra space goes into rooms rather than a bigger bedroom: an entrance, a living room and a dining area, a wet bar, and a second bathroom so guests are not sent through the bedroom. The resort calls it "one-of-a-kind", and in a 178-room hotel it probably is.
When it makes sense
- A small gathering before or after a show at the Event Centre next door.
- A milestone night when the room is the event.
- A wedding party's base on the day, with the banquet hall downstairs.
It is still rated for two overnight guests, so the gathering goes home or to other rooms at the end of the night.
Ask the desk
- Is the wet bar stocked, and on what terms?
- Is the suite available on your concert night?
- Can in-room dining be arranged for a group?
