An equally trendy bar is eclectically decorated with bright red painted walls, an industrial bar area, and puffy pillow benches and chairs. The bar serves homestyle American and German fare. The breakfast room features dark wood furniture and floors, beige cushioned booths and large windows that overlook the garden. There are also flat-screen TVs inset in the walls and a free continental buffet. The Summer Lounge -- which is open in the warmer months -- offers cocktails in a serene setting with lounge music, wooden planked patios, cushioned sofas, and lanterns dangling from trees. Note that smoking is allowed in both the bar and the Summer Lounge.
