Planning notes
Best supporting page
Use the weekend lounge preview first when room feel matters most. Use reservations next if you already know the lounge timing is the real decision.
Best reservation style
Earlier reservations work best when the lounge should grow naturally out of dinner. Later reservations are better when the lounge energy is the main event.
What makes it beat a generic lounge
The room still feels like hospitality. You can stay in the same atmosphere as the night evolves instead of treating the lounge as a disconnected second stop.
