Klimt Rotunda - Displaying six Klimt drawings, housing the Imperial Grand Bösendorfer Piano, and looking out on City Hall, this round café serves as the hotel's musical heartbeat. The style is Vienna or Prague: little black-marble tables, black velour banquettes and chairs, black-and-white tile floor, dropped, gold-leaf ceiling containing crimson lights. Music nightly. Cocktails, imported beer, appetizers.

The Bösendorfer Lounge - Named after the Bösendorfer piano in the Klimt Rotunda, this spacious, hardwood-floor lounge serves cocktails and the same menu as the Klimt Rotunda. The bar ceiling is golf-leaf, marble bar and columns are black, hanging lights are red, and the rotating harlequin perched atop a column is multi-colored and wistful. A DJ plays on Friday and Saturday nights following jazz sessions in the Klimt Rotunda.

Starbucks - Coffee drinks, light meals, pastries.

Room service is available 24 hours.

Amenity highlights: Designed by Austrian architect Hans Hollien and valued at $250,000, the hotel's Imperial Grand Bösendorfer Piano (one of two in existence) features gold-leaf inlays, a hydraulic lid, and brass legs. For relaxation, a sixth-floor pool deck festooned with blossoms and greenery provides a 45-by-22-foot lap pool, a four-person spa, and, for shade, an all-white, fabric-draped gazebo containing five glass-and-wrought-iron chandeliers. A short flight of stairs leads from the deck down to a secluded arbor with tables for fresh-air reading and dining.
