Best rooms for a honeymoon stay
If you want a larger, more private-feeling room, ask about the Suite (Arlo) which lists a King Bed and shows more space and skyline views. For private outdoor time, look for a Room, Terrace or Terrace Room with glass doors to a terrace.
Smaller City and Courtyard options can work if you prefer being centrally located in the building and plan to spend most time in public hotel spaces or exploring the neighborhood.
- Suite (Arlo): 1 King Bed — best for extra space
- Room, Terrace / Terrace Room: terrace access for morning coffee or evening drinks
- (City) Room and (Courtyard) Room: compact options with city or courtyard views
- Bunk Room and Room (Bunk): not typical honeymoon choices (2 Twin Beds)
| Room name | Why couples might like it |
|---|---|
| Suite (Arlo) | Largest option — King Bed and more privacy |
| Room, Terrace / Terrace Room | Private outdoor space for two |
| (City) Room / (Courtyard) Room | Cozy and budget-friendly, close to hotel venues |
