The purple-themed Skybar has a slinky after-dark appeal (try the Aviator Sling: gin, parfait amour, cranberry and lime juice), while the Brasserie is all cream-leather seating and walnut finishes. It's here that chef Allan Pickett (formerly at Galvin Bistrot de Luxe in London) makes use of local produce to create a tempting take-off menu: the piquant steak tartare is already proving a runaway success. And on the walls, black-and-white photos of Hollywood stars getting on or disembarking from airplanes add a touch...
