Your luxury experience starts at Adorn
Guests will kick off the night at Adorn Bar & Restaurant, on the seventh floor, where they will be greeted with a glass of champagne. From there, a private elevator will take you directly to the 46th floor, where you will find the iconic Mile High Cocktail Club.
The setting of this space, transformed by Kehoe Designs, is inspired by gemstone tones, copper details, light chains and emerald neons. In addition, the star piece is the Sands of Time, a decorative bathtub full of crystals and emeralds that adds a touch of nostalgia to the modern decoration.
