All-day dining Located across from the lobby bar is the bistro , which serves as the hotel ’ s all-day dining venue . The bistro features a seating area and an open kitchen . The absence of walls throughout the entire level posed a challenge in concealing the exhaust . However , the Collective added bookcases with patterns and rhythms to fill the 8-meter-high ceiling and create a visually dynamic impact , all while maintaining a consistent design language . To further conceal the kitchen from the main area , a bookcase with a similar language as the exhaust is placed between the dining area and the kitchen , creating an aesthetic appeal .
Chinese Restaurant The Chinese restaurant is located after the open kitchen in the tavern , above the area there is an artwork that mirrors the bar drop panel , creating a seamless design language . Additionally , four private dining areas are tucked away from the open space , providing guests with the option for intimate gatherings .
This allows the intermingling of boundaries among these spaces and seamlessly integrates and separates them at the same time , connecting them to the pulsating heart of Andaz .
L29 Bar & Meeting Space As guests reach L29 , they are greeted by a shared lift lobby that connects the bar and meeting space . The ceiling of both areas is united by strips of light shining towards the curved scallop ceiling , providing indirect light that adds depth and dimension to the space , in place of traditional direct lighting .
