With capacity for 100 guests, including room for 40 seated, the atmosphere and ambiance at Aquum Lounge is one of opulence. A back lit dramatic marble bar is set amongst white walls and grand metallic mirrors. The cleverly shifting lights, reflect across the space and cause the whole atmosphere to seamlessly glide from day to evening – meaning Aquum Lounge lends itself to everything from post work drinks, and relaxed meals to high octane partying.
