Audio-visual, seating and accessibility considerations
Studio 1 and the hotel’s meeting rooms support standard meeting and banquet AV needs; meeting listings reference theater and auditorium seating configurations.

The property offers accessible features including elevators, a pool hoist/accessible pool entry, and valet parking for wheelchair-equipped vehicles. If accessibility needs are essential for guests, confirm accessible entry points, restroom locations, and any ramp or lift requirements with the events team during site inspection.
- Request: current AV price list, stage dimensions, rigging rules and noise/curfew policies
- Accessibility: hotel has wheelchair-accessible elevators and pool hoist; check room and venue-specific access
- Seating plans: ask for sample banquet and ceremony layouts tied to the confirmed maximum capacity
