Hoodies are allowed but must not be worn with the hood up; after 4:00 p.m. men may not wear shorts (women may wear tailored non‑denim shorts). Footwear such as flip‑flops/Birkenstocks and sportswear are not permitted. The dress code does not apply to children under 12.

Practical tips for arriving and dining
Plan reservations for peak times (weekends, brunch, and early evening) since the Polo Lounge is popular for business lunches and Sunday Brunch. If you have an early or late arrival with a room booking, the hotel’s concierge can often help secure a preferred table or timing.
If your party requires special arrangements (dietary needs, celebratory cakes, private dining), contact the restaurant or the hotel's events team in advance. For assistance connected to a room reservation, use BookResorts agents (+1 (888) 605-1350) who can liaise with the hotel on your behalf.
- Reserve ahead for Sunday Brunch and weekend evenings
- Call for parties of 8 or more or private dining requests
- Mention dietary restrictions when booking to allow kitchen time to prepare
