The corner primary bedroom suite is enormous with its own sitting room, multiple walk-in closets, and two fully windowed bathrooms. The rest of the 8th floor consists of three bedrooms, a yoga room, laundry room and then the former staff quarters which could be another large bedroom suite for guests.
