Spanning 28 acres, the property features over 750 rooms, cottages, and villas alongside 65,000 square feet of flexible banquet space. The resort is enhanced by a variety of dining options, including four restaurants, two bars, a food truck, a marketplace, an ice cream shop, and in-room dining services. Following a substantial $400 million renovation and expansion, the resort has become even more stunning and is positioned to offer exceptional guest experiences combining historic charm with modern luxury.
