Ambrosia
Okay, this was requested a little while ago and I've finally got around to writing it. Hope it is helpful!
The building Ambrosia occupies used to be a boarding house, but it has been adapted to the needs of the current occupier. It helped that the bedrooms mostly had their own bathrooms already, though. (I don't know where exactly in New York it is because I don't know New York, but it is fairly accessible.)
Downstairs: socialising. There's a bar (somewhat like this one) to the left of the main foyer, and a small ballroom big enough to seat people for eating on the right. Straight ahead is a reception desk and a flight of stairs going up. At the desk is the concierge, who answers any questions the client may have, and deals with bookings. Both rooms are moodily lit with soft, warm light, and draped with chiffon and crushed velvet. The carpet is plush and thick. The decor is deco and classy but rich, all white and gold trim and potted palms and Greek/Roman vases illustrated with sex scenes. There is a kind of baroque/20s speakeasy vibe to it (kind of like this.) The room on the right is where the girls go to mingle and introduce themselves. There are a lot of couches and ottomans, low to the ground, and a couple of waitresses to bring drinks from the bar, or suggestive finger food. The area behind the bar is a kitchen and private rooms for the girls and boys to prepare and socialise in, as well as the back stairs and a more private entrance.
There is a second staircase that leads off the ballroom. Upstairs are themed bedrooms, some by colour, some by purpose, some by style (so basically you can have what you like in the room when you write it). In the middle, above the central staircase, is a more intimate entertaining room, kitted in colours of dark reds and forest greens and mahogany trimmed with gold and black, for use by smaller groups and richer clients.
Kakia is the madam and owner/operator, so it is to her that all problems go. She is nearly always present, supervising the open areas to make sure that everything is going the way it should be. If there is an issue she will usually side with the girls, because after all, customers are a pound a penny. A good working immortal girl/boy is much harder to find. Kakia has her own space on the very top floor, with a plush private entertaining area and separate bedroom with a four-post bed hung with gold velvet curtains. Her private bathroom has an enormous in-floor bath and large skylight. Kakia never cooks for herself.
And I have to add a link to this, because it's pretty effin' classy. Naked chicks reading books ahoy
