Points of Interest
South Balcony (Flag A)
Located on the second floor of the south wing, the south balcony overlooks the outdoor lounge. During Conquest Domination matches, this location is home to Flag A, making this cramped space a deadly high-traffic area as teammates and opponents race from one flag to the next. Always seek cover behind the nearby planter when converting this flag. At the very least, keep moving to avoid being surprised by sharpshooters posted near the restaurant to the north.
The staircase to the west offers access to and from the outdoor lounge. Given the lack of cover on this staircase, it’s safer to use the interior staircase to the south, which connects to a small lounge on the south wing’s first floor. The balcony can also be accessed from the long interior hallway to the east. While most fighting in this area occurs at close range, be prepared to deal with long-range threats posted to the north or down the hall to the east. Such versatility is best met by equipping a carbine or compact assault rifle.

When standing on the south balcony, don’t get distracted by activity in the outdoor lounge to the north. If you’re not careful, an opponent can sneak up behind you, approaching from the nearby stairways or the hall to the east.

The lure of sniping opponents in the outdoor lounge or north wing may prove too tempting for some players. As a result, you can usually score some easy knife kills here by rushing up behind a distracted opponent.

In addition to watching the two staircases here, look for movement through the hall to the east. Additionally, opponents may pop out of one of the nearby doorways connected to the adjoining suites.
Restaurant (Flag B)
This upscale restaurant occupies the majority of the north wing’s floor plan. The spacious dining area on the first floor is also home to Flag B during Conquest Domination matches. Converting the flag here can be deadly, especially if opponents are posted on the upper-floor walkway ringing the dining area. Sneaky defenders can also watch this flag by peering through the fireplace directly to the north while posted on the adjoining lounge. The kitchen, on the south side, is also a good ground-floor defensive position.
While stepping into the dining area is a necessary risk in Conquest Domination, the bottom floor is best avoided in all other game modes. There’s virtually no cover and the tables and chairs can hinder movement. Stick to the upstairs walkway, using the height advantage to fire down at opponents. If you find yourself on the bottom floor, stick to the perimeter of the dining area where you’re less likely to be spotted from above. The relatively long sight lines afforded by this location make both carbines and assault rifles very effective.

By watching from the elevated walkway, you can ambush opponents in the restaurant’s dining area. C4 is very effective when defending the flag during Conquest Domination matches.
Leval 1 [05]
The kitchen is located on the dining area’s south side. While it’s possible to watch the dining room from this position, the kitchen can become a high-traffic area for those attempting to avoid ambushes in the dining area. So think twice before camping here.
Leval 1 [06]
Be mindful of the tables and chairs in the dining area. Getting hung up on these can make it difficult to strafe during chaotic firefights. When possible, stay to the north or south sides of the dining area to avoid inadvertently running into these objects.
Leval 2 [07]
While the walkway above the dining area is a good spot to ambush opponents on the floor below, never stop up here. This walkway is connected to multiple second-floor corridors, making it impossible to predict where opponents may appear. Even if you’re careful, getting flanked here is a regular occurrence. So watch your back or make sure a teammate does.
Pool and Spa (Flag C)
There’s little time to relax in this shallow indoor pool on the building’s east side. Flag C is located along the pool’s west side during Conquest Domination matches, ensuring this location sees plenty of traffic. As two of the map’s central locations, the pool and spa can be accessed from multiple directions on the first floor. But it’s also possible to drop through the skylight (on the second floor) to make a surprise entry.
When operating in this location, avoid stepping into the shallow pool, as you may get hung up on the perimeter while trying to exit. Also, be mindful of the lengthy outdoor path to the south. Long-range duels are common along here and can serve as a good overmatch position when watching Flag C from a distance. Defenders may also seek cover behind the reception desk on the pool’s north side. Shotguns and PDWs work well when engaging opponents within this small room. But if you wish to contend with opponents posted to the south, a carbine or assault rifle offers greater range and versatility.
Leval 1 [08]
The rooftop above the pool and spa is accessible by hopping out the window in the large conference room on the second floor. From this rooftop position, you can ambush opponents on the floor below by firing through the skylight. Or simply smash the skylight and drop into the pool.
Leval 1 [09]
Although the pool is extremely shallow, avoid stepping into the water to maintain greater speed and lateral mobility. The water doesn’t slow you down, but bumping into the edges of the pool does. Also, be mindful of the windows on the room’s east side. If the windows have been shot out, you may accidentally fall off the side of the building, leading to an embarrassing death.
Leval 1 [10]
From this corner position, it’s possible to hit opponents approaching from the hall to the west as well as ambush others rushing down the steps to the north. With your back to the northeast corner, it also makes it impossible for anyone to sneak up behind you. The reception desk on the room’s north side is another good defensive position, offering a good view of the long outdoor walkway to the south.
Leval 1 [11]
Directly west of the pool and spa is a long narrow hallway linking the north and south wings. The west side of this hall is lined with large windows offering a great view of the outdoor lounge. Always watch for enemies outside while passing through this corridor and stop long enough to engage them. But don’t hold here long or else you’re likely to be flanked from the north or south.
Outdoor Lounge
At one time, this swanky outdoor lounge was a relaxing rooftop retreat for business executives and their wealthy clients. Now this open-air lounge is a kill zone. Regardless of game mode, this area is best avoided due to the lack of cover and long sight lines. Still, racing through this area is the quickest way to move between the restaurant and south balcony, often making this a high-traffic area during Conquest Domination matches. If you wish to engage the cross-traffic here, take a position on the east or west sides of the lounge. Or better yet, head upstairs and cover the area from one of the perimeter walkways.
The kitchen behind the bar offers the only solid cover here. All other objects and furniture break apart quickly when exposed to small-arms fire. If you’re planning to spend some time out here, bring along a sniper rifle or assault rifle and take advantage of the long east–west sight lines. But chances are your victims won’t be standing still, so be prepared to lead your targets as they race through this kill zone.
Leval 1 [12]
The outdoor lounge offers some of the longest sight lines on the map. As a result, always take aim through your weapon’s scope or iron sights to improve accuracy and stability. Even shotguns can benefit from aiming out here.
Leval 1 [13]
There isn’t much cover in the outdoor lounge, so don’t try to hide behind the flimsy patio furniture. The bar structure near the center of the lounge is one of the few pieces capable of withstanding a barrage of small-arms fire. The low partition walls are also quite sturdy, but you’ll need to crouch to hide behind them. It’s much safer to race indoors than attempt to hold out here very long.
Sky Bar
The sky bar is the highest point on the map, making it a popular sniping perch for recon troops. Positioned on the far east side of the outdoor lounge, this bar is little more than a wide open-air balcony, offering a sweeping view of the floors below, including the perimeter corridors of the restaurant and south wing. This area is only accessible via two staircases, located to the north and south. As a result, the sky bar is relatively simple to lock down, particularly if occupied by a squad.
Even if you’re short on manpower, booby-trapping the staircases with claymores is a good way to prevent surprise attacks. While scanning for targets to the west, avoid getting hung up on the barstools positioned along the balcony’s edge. Also, be ready to drop prone if you start taking fire. Assuming a crouch position may not be enough to escape danger, as the top edge of the balcony’s low wall can be chipped away. While sniper rifles and assault rifles are well suited for engaging opponents in the outdoor lounge below, shotguns and PDWs are great for guarding the two staircases. During Squad and Team Deathmatch games, a well-equipped squad or team can fortify this location quite easily, making it an excellent base of operations.

The sky bar is the premiere sniping perch, making it the ideal location to rush to when you acquire the JNG-90 sniper rifle during Gun Master matches. In addition to scouring the outdoor lounge for targets, don’t forget to check the windows of the north and south wings. You can also hit enemies inside the north wing by firing through the nearby doorway connected to the staircase.
South Wing
Most of the south wing’s first floor is inaccessible with the exception of the small stairway to the west and the hall to the east. For this reason, most action and movement occurs upstairs between the south balcony and conference rooms. On the west side of this area are two large bedroom suites separated by a long, narrow corridor. The southern suite is connected to an outdoor walkway, offering perimeter access along the building’s south side. This is a great way to move to the pool and spa. The north suite also has an elevated walkway overlooking the outdoor lounge.
Sometimes moving along these perimeter walkways is safer than racing down the interior hallway between the suites. This long sight line offered by this corridor makes it a popular choke point for recon or support troops posted on the west or east ends. Directly east of the suites is a large lounge. This is often a high-traffic area, connecting the south wing to the conference rooms. Watch the long corridors to the north and west to avoid getting picked off by sharpshooters.
While there are long sight lines in this area, most engagements occur at close range, particularly while moving through the suites. As a result, shotguns and PDWs work well while moving through here. But if you’re looking to defend or camp this location, bring along a carbine or assault rifle to take advantage of the long-range opportunities afforded by the narrow, lengthy hallways.
Leval 2 [15]
The suite on the hall’s east side is a high-traffic area, particularly during Conquest Domination matches, as players move between the south balcony and pool and spa. Avoid sprinting through here, and always keep your weapon ready to fire.
Leval 2 [16]
From the balcony (or suite) on the hall’s north side, it’s possible to engage opponents in the outdoor lounge and within the north wing, near the restaurant.
Leval 2 [17]
This hallway is a kill zone in all game modes. Always watch for opponents posted at the east or west ends of this corridor. When engaging opponents at intermediate to long range, always aim through your weapon’s scope or iron sights to improve accuracy. Dropping prone can also improve accuracy while reducing your visible profile, making you a smaller target for your opponent.
Leval 2 [18]
From the south lounge, aim down the narrow hallway to the north, outside the conference rooms. Consider positioning yourself halfway up this staircase in an attempt to remain concealed, but don’t stay here long, as this is a high-traffic area and you’re likely to be flanked or stabbed from behind.
Leval 2 [19]
Be careful when rounding this corner on the exterior walkway. Opponents posted in the pool and spa area have a clear view of this walkway. Prepare for long-range duels.
Leval 2 [20]
When racing along this exterior path, watch out for opponents in the nearby lounge. The large windows on the lounge’s south side leave you exposed while moving along this walkway.
Conference Rooms
There are a series of three conference rooms, all located on the east side of the second floor. The largest of the conference rooms has large windows on the eastern wall, overlooking the rooftop of the pool and spa area. You can hop out these windows and drop through the skylight on the adjoining rooftop to quickly access the pool and spa, a maneuver that comes in handy during Conquest Domination matches.
The two other conference rooms, to the south, are much smaller and can become deadly choke points frequented by campers equipped with shotguns and PDWs. Sometimes moving through the conference rooms is safer than racing along the hallway to the west. This long corridor connects the north and south wings. The large windows on the corridor’s west side offer a great view of the outdoor lounge below. But don’t make a habit of stopping here and engaging opponents on the floor below. Instead, keep moving to avoid being flanked or stabbed in the back. If you want to snipe opponents in the outdoor lounge, you’re better off advancing to the sky bar on the floor directly above this corridor.
Leval 2 [21]
Fighting in the conference rooms takes place at extremely close range. To survive such encounters, don’t stand still. Instead, continue moving laterally while avoiding collisions with the conference tables and chairs. Getting hung up on the furniture makes you an easy, stationary target for your opponents.
Leval 2 [22]
The long corridor to the west of the conference rooms is a major thoroughfare, connecting the north and south wings. But the large windows on the hall’s west side also offer an excellent view of the outdoor lounge. Always scan for targets on the floor below while moving through here, but don’t stop long.
Leval 2 [23]
Point-blank engagements are common at this corner of the hallway, which connects to the north wing. Always keep your weapon raised and ready to fire. Sprinting in this cramped junction is a bad idea.
Leval 2 [24]
Cutting through this restroom is a quick way to transition between the north conference room and the south conference room. But your opponents might have the same idea, so be ready to open fire. Watch out for injured opponents recovering in one of the stalls.
North Wing
While the restaurant makes up the majority of the north wing, there are corridors, stairways, and walkways flanking the north and south sides, ideal for avoiding the chaotic central dining area. On the north wing’s second floor, a large lounge overlooks the outdoor lounge, with several floor-to-ceiling windows. While moving through here, watch for incoming fire originating from the south wing. North–south duels are common here. Unfortunately, there isn’t much cover in this lounge, so don’t wander far from the southern walls once the bullets start flying. Directly north of the restaurant are two outdoor walkways running along the building’s perimeter. Moving along either of these walkways is a great way to transition between the north and south sides of the restaurant, or use the staircase connecting the walkways to move between floors.
With the exception of some planters and some lounge furniture, there isn’t much cover here. So prepare to sidestep and strafe while engaging opponents here. Just be careful not to inadvertently jump off the side of the building in the heat of battle. Given the varied sight lines in this wing, carbines are a safe bet, providing decent range and maneuverability.
Leval 1 [25]
By peering through this fireplace, you can engage opponents in the restaurant’s dining area. This comes in handy for picking off opponents attempting to convert the flag during Conquest Domination matches.
Leval 2 [26]
This large lounge on the second floor overlooks the outdoor lounge. However, don’t get too comfortable up here. Opponents can easily sneak up behind you or snipe you from the suites in the south wing.
Leval 1 [27]
Escaping the chaos of the outdoor lounge is a priority for all players. As a result, you can often spot opponents sprinting through this doorway on the first floor. Mow them down before they have a chance to raise their weapon.
Leval 1 [28]
This lobby in the northeast corner of the first floor usually doesn’t see much traffic. This makes is an ideal place to ambush cross-traffic moving through the adjacent halls and stairways. Consider equipping a suppressor to remain hidden, preferably near the burning elevators.
Leval 2 [29]
This narrow passage connects the outdoor walkway on the north side to the hall outside the conference rooms. This path is a great way to fl ank opponents. But watch out for opponents camping inside the restroom stalls on the perimeter.
