Dining

The Aviator Brasserie delivers a selection of seasonal dishes made from locally produced ingredients, all complemented with a selection of boutique wines. For a more informal dinner setting, head to One Eleven, which is an American diner-style restaurant.

If you fancy a pre- or post-dinner tipple, there's a fine selection of cocktails in the atmospheric Sky Bar. Room service is available if you aren't in a hurry to leave your design-led room. The Swan, a TAG-owned gastropub located near the hotel, is also a particularly tempting option, serving elevated British fare.
