Grand Salon

THE CENTER OF CELEBRATION

A spirit of style, rhythm and whimsy keeps the plush, platinum and champagne-hued Grand Salon humming throughout the day and evening. Glowing inside and out, a corrugated crystal-like curtain reveals cascading chandeliers framing lush lounge-style seating clad in rich velvets and Jouffre silk. Here in the hotel’s fashionable humming heart, craft cocktails in cut-crystal tumblers and inspired dining from Two Michelin-starred Culinary Director Gabriel Kreuther complement social exchanges and graceful gatherings.

Guests will enjoy an inspired all-day dining menu, our signature Afternoon Tea service which now also features a special Petit Prince Children’s Tea, and light dinner fare. In the evening, a nightly display of glamorous Parisian-style pomp and circumstance includes specialty cocktails, premier wines and spirits, and the largest champagne list in the country.

Easter Weekend Grand Tea

Celebrate Easter in sparkling style while enjoying a specialty afternoon tea menu showcasing themed savories and delicate tea sandwiches. Because no Easter gathering would be complete without sweets galore, we’ve curated an elaborate dessert presentation with every treat imaginable. Adults will appreciate a welcome glass of rosé champagne, while children will enjoy decorating cookies with our pastry chef in the adjacent Petit Salon. Takeaway chocolate eggs and colorful candies, as well as a Baccarat apron for every young cookie culinarian, guarantee a sweet ending to a perfect pastel day.

In between, the Grand Salon plays host to light lunches served in sumptuous seating nooks and high-backed banquettes that flank the salon’s runway-style center aisle; afternoon high tea taken from an exquisite selection of Mariage Frères boutique blends; and a Champagne presentation that is a nightly display of Parisian-style pomp and circumstance.

Afterwards, guests can pair cocktails with Alsatian-inspired dishes from Culinary Director Gabriel Kreuther. Paris-based designers Gilles & Boissier have lavished attention on every surface and detail of the soaring, 22-foot-high salon, from its pleated Jouffre silk-covered walls, to its parquet floors and plush upholstered seating. At the room's very center is the pièce de résistance  a 64-arm Baccarat chandelier.
