- Stylish and contemporary reception areas and lounges
- Anytime Lounges and theater-style multimedia rooms that include large flat-screened televisions where members can relax, watch their favorite sporting events and films, and have fun

- Redesigned fitness centers featuring state-of-the-art equipment
- Family fun water features including slides, splash pads, cabanas and more
