Murano is a well designed building in a desirable location. The twin glass crystal towers were inspired by Peter Clewes – the internationally renown architect. The name Murano, a small island close to Venice, Italy home to Venetian glass since the 13th century, captures the personality of the building. The design team transposed the colours, shapes and art from this city to the building’s lobby, featuring a rare collection of Venetian Glass & Italian furniture, amenities – exotic porcelain tiled pool with custom mosaic inserts underneath a retractable glass roof. In the suites – Italian Scalvolini kitchens with highly modern glass cabinetry give the units a contemporary feeling. Other amenities include a fitness track and spacious exercise room, double sided fireplace in the lobby, outdoor landscaped garden, and guest suites. Suite sizes range from 425 sq ft to 1162 sq ft.
