Dining and drinking at Golden Aria: the signature restaurant, the all-day brasserie, the lobby patisserie and the late bar — sequenced by the clock.
← Back to Golden AriaThe venues
Four outlets: a signature restaurant, an all-day brasserie, a lobby patisserie and a late bar. The signature room is the headline.
Signature restaurant — Aria
Modern Scottish, serious technique, a short and confident wine list. The room itself is the best dining space in the hotel — dim, intimate, cinematic. Book ahead; it is the value, not the splurge.
Good to know
Book for the second night, not the first — you will want it after a night on the floor.
The brasserie
Relaxed all-day dining — a buffet breakfast plus an à la carte hot menu, in a brighter, busier room. Best for a quick lunch or a low-key dinner.
The Velvet bar
The best room in the hotel after midnight. A short, serious cocktail list and a pianist most nights. Order from the cocktail list, not the brasserie menu.
