For F&B, guests can choose from Al Orjouan, the signature all-day-dining buffet featuring Lebanese favorites; cigar lounge Turquoise; Chorisia Lounge for leisurely breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea; Strike, the indoor six-lane bowling alley; and Asian restaurant Hong and Azzuro Italian, flank the indoor pool and offer garden views through floor-to-ceiling windows.
