The building facade is adorned with over 2,000 colourful panels of glass featuring full-colour spaces and differentiated four-colour elements. The top floor of the structure comprises signal-red technology level which protrudes above the port basin and is lit up at night.
The hotel will consist of 134 rooms and suites, along with a pair of advanced conference rooms which will cover five to 14 stories of the building as well as its ground floor. A significant feature of the new hotel include the Innside Skybar & Lounge which will offer various culinary options as well as views of the surrounding port and city centre.
The building levels not occupied by the hotel will house office rooms along with showrooms of a major mobile phone provider or a fashion label and the Dusseldorf branch of a media academy.
