The top floor features a “floating,” prow-like roofline which houses several suites. To reflect the modern entertainment offered inside, the hotel tower rises from its masonry base clad in a combination of green-tinted transparent and opaque glass - an effect that mimics the look of Lake Michigan’s shimmery waves on a sunny day.
