Curtin House

It's hard to know where to start with the seven levels of merriment in this art nouveau building. We suggest starting with the stairs (often faster than queuing for the lift) then it's a matter of taking your pick. Try Thai and a tipple at Cookie, a gig and a late-night bite at the The Toff in Town, or a tequila and taco or two at Mesa Verde. Get designer threads at P.A.M. and Dot Comme or specialty books from Metropolis. Whatever you do, make sure you top it all off with a drink – and a summertime movie – at level seven's Rooftop Bar and Cinema.
