Surrounded by glass and equipped with screens, it is the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening cocktails while soaking in the ever-changing, memorizing views. Located in the vibrant heart of downtown, you are just steps from award-winning dining, theatres, galleries, boutique shopping, and Whole Foods.
