The uppermost floors are tapered with a steep diagonal roof on one side, leading to a sharp ridge. It also has an external glass elevator, which travels up to the bar/restaurant at the top. A lower block, three floors tall, contains the entrance, a lobby, restaurants and conference rooms.
A swimming pool and a sauna are found on the thirty-third and thirty-fourth floors.
Jennifer Fairgate
The hotel is known for the death of an unidentified woman in room 2805 on June 3, 1995. She had checked in as "Jennifer Fairgate", misspelling the surname as "Fergate". A man named "Lois Fairgate" was listed with her, but his identity remains unknown. She gave a false address in Verlaine, Belgium, and her death was ruled a suicide by a 9mm pistol. However, there was no blood or residue on her hand, no ID was found, and all clothing tags had been removed, leading to speculation that she was a covert operative.The case was featured in Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries in October 2020.
