Dream Lounge:
This undersized lobby-bar-as-nightclub situated on the ground floor of the Dream Hotel can turn any bad trip good. That is especially true for the tourists calling the hotel home. A hallucinogenic, brightly striped floor crawls up the sides of the walls to touch a mod mirror-paneled ceiling. That combined with the matching rainbow-tiled bar hosted by sexy bartenders can make for a dizzying experience, especially after one too many of their 10 specialty cocktails. Hang out on coordinating chaise lounges and let the whole psychedelic scene sink in. Just resist the urge to evoke your inner Austin Powers and keep the “Yeah baby” to yourself. Or head upstairs to the in-the-clouds penthouse AVA Lounge for an even more dreamlike experience.
