Waking up to the smell of fresh bread will leave you eager to head down for breakfast. If you are an early or late riser, a continental breakfast is served in the Panorama Lounge from 7am until 10am.

So Much Choice Lunch times offer choice again, whether you are looking for a quick soup and sandwich served in the Panorama Lounge or something more substantial.

Those looking for more of a selection can head down to the restaurant where you can have as much or as little of the four-course lunch.

If you are looking for a simpler main course, available every day at lunch there is a chicken breast option served with a green salad.
