Visitors aren't short of dining options either, with Neil Perry restaurants Rockpool, Spice Temple, and Rosetta, Parisian diner Bistro Guillaume, burger-and-shake joint The Merrywell and pizzeria 400 Gradi among the choices.
For families, there is Kingpin, which boasts 12 public bowling lanes, two private VIP lanes in the exclusive Pins Royale, a state-of-the-art laser tag arena, a private karaoke room, pool tables and a Playtime arcade which includes over 150 arcade games.
