The Hotel features a seasonal outdoor pool with sun loungers, surrounded by a courtyard, and provides spa services including various massages, manicures, pedicures, and waxing.

Sutor Chic Manor is housed in a building originally constructed in the 17th century, and the property retains historical features while incorporating modern comforts like soundproof rooms and key card access. The Hotel also provides family rooms, a safety deposit box, and a communal kitchen for guest use.
