How is the Executive Lounge?
In evening, now located on last floor, at the restaurant and bar level : during a dedicated period, choice of 2 plates and free drinks. Food is very good and service is excellent. Very nice panoramic view over the city.
Excellent breakfast is served for free at main restaurant level for club members

What was good and what was bad?
Good:
