Food and beverage offerings form a central part of the guest experience. The hotel features three dining and social venues designed to support both casual interactions and flexible dining preferences.
OUIBar serves as the hotel’s primary social hub, offering cocktails inspired by local flavors alongside comfort food intended for sharing. The venue combines food, beverages, and social interaction within an environment characterized by bold design elements.
For guests seeking convenience at any hour, RED Deli Bar operates as a 24-hour grab-and-go outlet. The concept is intended to provide flexible dining options for travelers with varying schedules and lifestyles.
The property’s outdoor poolside venue, RED Deck Pool Bar, offers al fresco seating and a selection of signature cocktails and international dishes. In addition to serving hotel guests, the venue is designed to host social gatherings and events, contributing to the property's lifestyle-oriented positioning.
Beyond accommodation and dining, the hotel offers a range of wellness facilities. The spa provides treatments inspired by local traditions and natural ingredients, while the fitness center features modern cardio and strength-training equipment available around the clock.
Adjacent to the fitness center is an outdoor swimming pool that functions as both a leisure facility and a social gathering space. The arrangement reflects the hotel’s emphasis on integrating lifestyle, wellness, and community-oriented experiences within a single destination.
