This renowned hotel is home to four distinct dining rooms, namely the Cellar (12 seated and 12 standing), Tote (6 seated and 15 standing), French (60 seated at banquet tables, 30 seated at one table, and 100 standing) dining room, and Boudoir (14 seated one table, 24 seated at banquet tables, and 40 standing).
