Marquee

There's a bit of a boys' club feeling about this elegant space, designed by the big-name architectural firm of Philip Johnson and Alan Ritchie. A glass-bead chandelier lights up the dramatic main room, which is accented by dark, polished wood on all sides and sprawling banquette seating. 

At the back, a pyramid-like staircase leads to a soundproofed, glassed-in, second-floor lounge overlooking the vaulted main room.  Show up with fashionable friends in tow - everyone in the youngish crowd seems to know each other.
