PARK INN NASEEL LOUNGE & DINING Eclectic colours and a mix of furniture is the essence of the Park Inn brand. The lobbies follow the â&#x20AC;&#x17E;living roomâ&#x20AC;&#x153; concept with loosely arranged seating configurations. While toned down for Makkah still the spirit of the brand is there. The cafe is the smallest and coziest dining venue in the hotel and of a more individual character for smaller groups. The mood is fresh, the themes taken from cafes throughout the world.
