High-top cocktail tables can be scattered around the deck for guests to rest their drinks, while lounge-style seating can be arranged in clusters to encourage conversation. The hotel's culinary team excels at creating menus perfectly suited for an outdoor setting, from live food stations and interactive grills to elegant passed hors d'oeuvres and creative beverage bars. The hotel's events team works closely with planners to manage the unique aspects of an outdoor event, including weather contingency plans. While the venue is at its best during Delhi's pleasant seasons, arrangements can be made to ensure guest comfort. As an outdoor venue within a hotel, event timings and music levels are carefully managed to ensure a fantastic party atmosphere without disturbing the peace of in-house guests, ensuring a harmonious experience for everyone.
