The transformation begins at the 4th-floor entrance, where guests are welcomed by the iconic wardrobe, snow-covered trees, and woodland creatures—an enchanting gateway into Narnia.

Inside, the signature lamppost rises among snow-dusted trees, while frosted branches and garlands elegantly adorn the banquettes.
