"Steps from the hotel, doors open to a host stand where a cheery local seats guests and visitors at The Elysian Bar’s small lunch counter or at a table in one of several dining rooms. In the back of the building is a cocktail space that feels opulent and inviting at once: a generous bar framed by wooden columns is lit by modern sconces and pendant lights which live alongside vintage candelabras." - Khalid El Khatib
