Lunch was served in a strange restaurant. It felt as if it used to serve colonial diners who were waiting for a train, but it’s since been converted. A large public dining room was available downstairs through a hotel lobby, but we were directed upstairs into private rooms on the first floor. We travelled down narrow corridors and were eventually split up into different rooms. They weren’t particularly interesting other than having ornate chandeliers, but every room was boarded with decorative wallpaper and a tiny window that existed just to feed light into the room rather than offer any view. Nevertheless, we were served the same Chinese menu that we’d gotten used to throughout our stay, which was to rotate giant serving plates around a giant lazy susan. I did find a sign that offered free Wi-Fi on the way to discover the bathroom, which was much appreciated by all.
