Rooms.
Guests could explore everything from a fully custom-built barbershop to an omakase sushi chef serving from inside the elevators. Personalized, heat-pressed T-shirts. Pop-up tattoo parlors. And so much more.

It was a bold, unforgettable takeover that blurred the lines between retail, experience, and culture. Every floor, every corner, every room offered something new.
