The hotel will feature a four-story base or podium that will feature the hotels lobby, ballroom and connections to the adjacent convention center. Above will be a 26-story hotel tower that will feature around 600 rooms, all with views of both Lake Erie and the city.

Another two-story meeting place will be featured on the hotels 25th floor with a terrace overlooking the lake.
