The lounge formerly known as Climax has officially changed its name to The Griffin Lounge. Look for a blend of Old World architectural pieces and contemporary design in this 6,250-square-foot lounge. One of the most striking pieces is a pair of 750-pound griffin lights salvaged from an East Coast mansion--they flank the main bar. Four rooms feature three bars; two are marble-topped and one is the section of Bubinga tree, native to Africa. Sparse lounge seating is available for table service, and there's plenty of open floor for dancing.
