Dining
Restaurant Szenario - This bustling dining area, with its simple wooden tables and chairs and mainly parquet floor, welcomes hotels guests for a buffet breakfast and local business people for power lunches. Along with a salad buffet and soups, other light meals such as pasta, fish or a vegetarian minestrone with parmesan cheese are aimed at keeping busy lunchers on the go.
Restaurant Dialog - Carved out of and raised a step above the main dining area of Restaurant Szenario, this is a more intimate location for a lingering meal over candlelight. Long-backed dark upholstered chairs and elegantly laid tables set the scene for, say, a starter of risotto followed by duck. Some can't resist the Flambispiess, or Big Bird Skewer.
Summer Terrace - In summer, the Restaurant Szenario extends outside into the neighboring square and offers light meals.
Edison Lounge & Bar - Towering vases loaded with peanuts grace the gently curving bar in Edison's Lounge & Bar, a street-level tavern that attracts people from inside and outside the hotel. Soft halogen lighting and soothing jazz music waft over the candle-lit tables and leather lounges. In one corner stands a glass cabinet with a selection of fine cigars. The bar occasionally stages live music.
