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. RESERVE A TABLE VIEW MENU Hours of Operation Monday to Saturday 7am – 11pm Sunday 7am – 10pm Last seating is one hour before closing. Reserve a Table 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.

Boutique blends are paired with chef-selected canapés, house-made scones and petit fours.
