The marble throughout is a reflecting monochrome color, and the restaurant is meant to mimic the interior of a financial institution.
Sky bars have continued to please restaurant-goers because of the stunning views they offer. Some of these bars, however, neglect their interiors, banking on their incredible heights to keep customers happy; this is not the case at Above Eleven. In addition to its stunning view of the skyline, Above Eleven has made its restaurant into an art installation of sorts, designed to look like Central Park in New York City. Plants and tree-like structures are scattered throughout the entirety of the restaurant and bar, adding to its unique theme.
