Enter through the lobby into the immense pavilion, the airy indoor courtyard that reaches up 10 stories to the skylight. Here among trees and plants, attractive sculptures and tremendous dangling mobiles, visitors will find the Garden Cafe, which serves breakfast and lunch. Across the pavilion is the hotel delicatessen, open 24 hours a day. Stretch your legs for a walk to the pavilion or just dial the phone and the hotel's 24-hour room service will send it up. Drop into Tangerine's, the hotel's night club.
