Delight your guests in the airy Palm Court
This showstopping space creates a real impact on your guests as they enter from the extravagant hallway.

The dynamic floor levels throughout the room facilitate a convivial social scene at any time of day. Four large potted olive trees and numerous palms breathe further life into the room and draw the eye line towards the attractive glass ceiling. The opaque roof casts a warm glow into the space below, likening it to an interior garden.
