The hotel has a glass-bottomed rooftop infinity pool adjacent to the Skybar. There is a restaurant on the second floor called the Cafe Post. [1]

The hotel is unique in that it uses the shading effect of neighbouring buildings to create a pattern of sun and shade, which result is the image of a dragon folded around the exterior of the building. [2] The hotel is designed by Aedas.
