The property recently underwent a $10 million renovation of 319 guestrooms. Now, the award-winning rooftop bar and restaurant Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails welcomes a new team comprised of Laura Simpson-Eng as executive chef, food and beverage director Max Messmer and bar manager Chris Blakeslee.

New specialty cocktails can be found on the Millionaires Menu, with showy choices such as the $128 Mogul’s Margarita, $200 Best Martini Ever and the $280 Beauty in Paradis, made with Hennessey Paradis rare cognac and Grand Marnier Centenaire.
