The Loft is the second restaurant on-site which serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.

And on days when you are sitting too contently on your room's private balcony to leave, guests may order in-room dining. This is 24/7 room service, we might add. Whether it be for breakfast, lunch, happy hour, dinner, or a midnight snack, the in-room dining service is a great option for guests who wish to eat from the comfort of their room or private patio.
