Every guest room was entirely gutted and then reconstructed to contemporary specifications and expanded dimensions. The renovation process transformed the physical character of the accommodations throughout the building.
The renovation process involved enlarging guest rooms substantially, which required reducing the total number of rooms in the hotel.
