The main entrance is at the left, also deeply recessed with a revolving door under a metal-and-glass canopy that extends out to the building line. In the center is a restaurant storefront, and to the right is a slightly-recessed entrance to the underground parking garage with a frosted glass-and-metal door. There are three flagpoles atop the east end of the ground floor.

The upper floors have seven bays of windows, each divided into a wide east pane and a narrow west pane. The two outer bays on each side set back above the 19th floor. The west elevation and the south-facing, set-back areas of the south facade above the setbacks are windowless.

The hotel contains 401 guest rooms. The ground floor is occupied by Empire Steakhouse.
