The downstairs lobby is the entrance to the scores of gorgeously appointed rooms of The City Home. The walls display a rotating art gallery that goes back more than 115 years.

The main bar acts as the initial meeting area, occasional impromptu music venue or dining spot.

Just off the lobby and opposite the main bar area is The Playroom which houses more contemporary art and private bar and can double as either a meeting or dining room.  As the room's name implies, a friendly game of dominoes can often be found.

Bathed in light, the main dining room can seat more than 150 people and with its advanced sound, lighting and video systems, it can transform into a speakers forum, performance space or conference room. Dinner with entertainment is often the menu of the day.
