LOVE TO ENTERTAIN
HOTEL: Upon entering the Penthouse Suite, guests are met with a dining and entertaining area with a self-playing baby grand piano, cosy fireplace, and an elegant bar. The dining table to seat six is perfectly placed to enjoy the views to be had from the floor to ceiling windows complete with cushioned window seating to maximize space, and from here there is easy access out on to the wraparound, south-facing terrace. Whether dining during the day or night, the views from this dining area are amazing and offer the perfect backdrop to the luxurious, art deco-inspired interiors complete with brass and marble surfaces for a high-end finish.
HOME: If you love to entertain, then everything from the size of your dining table, to where it is positioned and the accompanying furnishings will be top of your agenda. If you have the luxury of space a self-playing baby grand is a piece of furniture that could easily be added into your own home. Also why not consider a bar area complete with sink, perfectly positioned for serving drinks. Window cushions made with luxury fabric create easy, additional window seating for hosting larger parties of friends and family with minimal fuss. A sideboard will create ample space for your special occasion dishes and glassware, and create an additional surface space for placing those all-important canapés.
