The hotel provides a large playground for children, a feature uncommon at similar hotels, along with family rooms that include interconnected options with garden views.

Military tunnels now house a wine cellar and a small museum displaying artifacts from the era. The hotel emphasizes eco-conscious practices, from growing its own produce to using locally sourced ingredients in every dish.
