Guest rooms at Hotel ZaZa are designed to offer a seamless combination of luxurious style and comfort, providing guests with a room that is more like a home than a hotel.

After stepping from the shower or tub and drying off with luxuriously-thick Frette towels, guests will be delighted to don the soft, silky ZaZa embroidered, signature bathrobe. Adding to the friendly, whimsical atmosphere, guests will find an etched window (available in selected rooms) that doubles as artwork between the shower and room - with someone in the shower, the opaque window actually becomes moving art in the sitting area. The etchings capture amusing quotes from some of the world’s past and present icons.

Hotel ZaZa room amenities include 24-hour room service, a butler pantry filled with drinks and snacks on each guest floor, nightly turndown service, in-room safe, twoline telephones - one of which is cordless - complimentary high-speed Internet access, "good stuff" mini bars and individual AC/heat climate controls (exact temperatures shown at all times).

The ever-present, perceptive staff adjusts the hotel’s mood based on their customer’s needs. As active days turn to promising evenings, there are subtle atmosphere changes - lowers are replaced with candles, soft-playing music becomes upbeat jazz rhythms and vibrant lighting turns colorfully dramatic.
