Lobby Lounge

The heart of our grand hotel is the welcoming Lobby Lounge. Comfortably elegant groupings of richly upholstered residential-style furniture invite socializing, while a complete beverage menu is available all day and evening.
Executive Pastry Chef, Richard Ruskell, creates delicacies for the cherished tradition of Afternoon Tea which is served daily from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Expert tea specialists serve exclusive artisan tea varieties in custom china, hand-painted by porcelain artist Lissi Kaplan and inspired by the vibrant wildflowers of California's foothills. A harpist adds to the soothing environment.
