With a chic lounge and bar, an airy terrace for alfresco drinks, and a spacious dining area framed by mirrors that reflect the beauty of the gardens, it’s a space that’s both luxurious and inviting. The Pavilion transforms from elegant daytime dining to an atmospheric evening party, complete with a lively dance floor and, of course, a photo booth for capturing the joyful, spontaneous moments of the night.
