The hotel lobby restaurant features a circular entrance ... Even better, a new game area welcomes guests with shuffleboard, classic board games and historic books.

floral rugs and details such as the decorative rope moulding around the perimeter of the area. A dark green vintage circular banquette from an old hotel lobby is among the eclectic mix of seating.
