Here, the designer was inspired by the unapologetic luxury that only first class air and rail travelers are privy to, along with the sophisticated design exemplified in the finest vintage automobiles. This is translated to a space filled with masculine touches, as well as a rich and enveloping, jewel-toned color palette. All elements - from the gray marble bar top, to the sapphire blue tones of the stitched leather banquet seats, club chairs and bar stools - are scrupulously executed.

Further inside, the intimacy of the 32-seater, VIP room is enhanced by the deep, blood red tones of the leather tabletops and tufted chairs, and the custom made, brass light fixtures which were inspired by classic car headlamps.

The continuous row of umbrellas lining the walls might come as a surprise, because fast moving landscapes behind window panes would probably be more expected.

Meanwhile, the truly discerning are invited to the VVIP room via yet another "secret" entryway: touching a seemingly traditional floral painting until it glows, a signal to the bartender inside the sanctuary to open the door. In here, bookshelves line the walls and a rich, emerald green color palette envelops; what goes on in here remains a secret even to the select that make Foxglove their city retreat.
