As part of the project, the business now includes a new in-house steakhouse called [Penthouse Prime](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holzrausch). The Penthouse Club renovation was spearheaded by [Studio Mishka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-vale-hotel), which embraced "a hybrid model that pairs the production and energy of a mainstream nightclub with the entertainment of an adult club in a single venue." The entertainment business' two-floor layout includes a high-energy main room with topless performances, a DJ booth, a main stage, and a reserved dining section, while the second-floor mezzanine offers premium seating, a rotating performance stage, and private VIP rooms with full nude entertainment. The lighting and video system was designed by idesign, along with an AV infrastructure that is intended to accommodate touring acts.
