The bar area is particularly beautiful, with stylish furniture and wall treatments. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy a drink.

If you're looking for a more secluded spot, you can head down long hallways to find two lesser-visited areas of the lounge. These areas tend to be emptier due to their location and the fact that the food is located in the central part of the lounge.

One of these areas has a unique seating setup, with colorful glass panels, chairs, and ottomans. It's a great spot to take a break and enjoy the lounge's atmosphere.

The lounge also has a hidden area by the back, accessible from the restaurant area, which is tastefully designed with armchairs, booths, and sofas. It's a great spot to unwind and enjoy some food and drinks.
