• Heno & Rey - Hola! With a focus on using fresh, West Australian produce to create Spanish inspired flavours, Heno & Rey’s is a casual tapas bar where passion for food and drink mirrors the Spanish approach to life.
• Loft Lounge and Bar - Sharp and sweet, or spiced and full-bodied. Neat, or splashed on the rocks; something classic, or a brand new experience. Whatever the guests tipple, you'll find it at The Loft lounge and bar.
• Gallery Meeting Suites - brings an elevated level of sophistication to the event experience, offering a glamorous setting for bespoke events,  launches, workshops, and team lunches or dinners, as well as being fully equipped for hybrid meetings.
