The Araneta Group also appointed AMCOM & Company Inc. serving as the general consultant for the projects, along with the New Gateway Mall.

[12] However, due to the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the country, the opening of the hotel, along with the adjacent New Gateway Mall was delayed, and the total price of the construction has inflated to ₱2 billion.

Due to these developments, the Araneta Group hired Stages, Design and Construction (SDC) as the new general contractor for the finishing works of the complex.

[4] The hotel is part of the Gateway Square complex, a 5-hectare (12-acre), 400,000 m2 (4,300,000 sq ft) prime mixed-use, transit-oriented development within the Araneta City.

[18] The building features a contemporary architecture, and is similarly designed to the Cyberpark Tower 1, located at the Araneta City Cyberpark, which features an asymmetrical facade with touches of brown hue varieties within the white colored exteriors, while the hotel's rooms and interior designs will be based from the historical events in the Araneta Coliseum throughout its 60-year (1960-2020) history, such as "stage-inspired" reception lobby utilizing stage equipment boxes for the reception desks and ceiling-installed stage lights.

[11] [3] The hotel also features "Boxing glove Sofas" located within the hotel's ground floor lobby and main lobby, located along the 4th floor, which is inspired from the Thrilla in Manila, a historic boxing match held at the Araneta Coliseum between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.

The hotel also hosts three restaurants, namely the StrEats Buffet Restaurant, which features a variety of Asian and Italian Cuisines; the Le Bistro, a bistro cafe featuring French and Italian Cuisines; and The Edge Skyview Bar, a rooftop bar.
