Stan’s transports guests from the vibrant atmosphere of Stanley into a luxuriously gilded 1930s-inspired cocktail lounge that occupies the upper floor of a building within the iconic Howard Smith Wharves. Accessed via an enchanting stairway adorned in deep pink and green murals evocative of a dreamlike landscape, which is warmly illuminated by delicate custom lanterns, guests emerge into an atmosphere of entwined nostalgia and modern elegance. A private lounge offers an intimate retreat, showcasing a custom gold wrap-around sofa and a vintage-inspired rug, creating a sanctum of opulent comfort. Brass table bases, topped with antique mirror, invite conversation and connection, while a dark lacquered green bar is distinguished further by marble inlay and intricate brass detailing. Behind it, timber and rattan-fretwork shelving harmonises with the design’s bespoke nature, accentuated by further hand-painted murals gracing the front panels of the DJ booth, inspired by classic chinoiserie art. The cocktail lounge dazzles with cathedral-backlit amber glass mirrors and sumptuous mohair velvet furnishings framed by elegant wainscoting that, in unity, immerse guests into this storied refuge.
