At 10,000 square feet (930 square meters), the restaurant is dressed in antique jewellery: a cobweb of white pearls hangs like a canopy overhead in the Pearl Lounge. The Locket Room is lined with hanging antique necklaces, the Gold Room features gilded mirrors, and another wall is upholstered with white horsehair.The dramatic spiraling Grand Staircase is accessorised by a sweeping, jellyfish-like chandelier in its centre.
