Slated for completion in the first quarter of 2023, additional amenities of Four Winds South Bend will include a 23-story hotel tower with 317 rooms, including 83 suites. There will also be a spa, convention area, meeting space, ballroom, lounge, bar and grille, outdoor third floor swimming pool and terraces.
