CLUB NEWS

                     A BRAND-NEW SPACE: TREETOPS SUITE
The Treetops Lounge and Terrace have been closed for some time now, undergoing a facelift. We are pleased to
announce that the renovation works are now complete, and you can look forward to a brand-new space –
the Treetops Suite.

Located on the third floor of the Club’s main building, the theme of the brand-new Treetops Suite is tropical,
classic, and monochromatic, suitable for all types of events. Whether you are looking for a professional space to
host meetings, a cosy space for seminars, or an elegant space for solemnizations, the Treetops Suite is the venue
of choice.

One of the more significant additions to the Treetops Suite include three private balconies which can
accommodate up to a party of six for private dining sessions, or casual meetings while soaking in the serenity.
Situated at the peak of the hilltop, expect a refreshing overview of nature, compared to the usual everyday city
view. The space is also well-equipped with furniture and audio-visual equipment which can be configured to meet
your event needs.

See the old and new photos below.
