About this space

The Lounge is centred on an open-plan, social layout that accommodates mixed seating and flexible use.

Design: The Lounge features an industrial palette of exposed ceilings, visible services and metal pendant lighting set against timber floors and an exposed-brick arch. The layout combines communal tables, bar-height counters and low sofas punctuated by planted pots.

Features: The Lounge provides rearrangeable tables, stools and bar-height counters that suit seated or standing layouts, which are also flexible to move. The Lounge is supported by on-site events staff who provide AV assistance and coordination.

Ideal for: Small teams and social groups seeking a relaxed, adaptable space for informal seated dining or standing receptions.

What sets it apart: A movable floor-to-ceiling curtain that can be closed to create a self-contained private area within the open lounge.

What guests say: The Lounge is bright and comfortable with reliable Wi‑Fi and effective air conditioning. The Lounge benefits from attentive, organised on-site staff who support event planning and delivery.
