NEW CAFE SOCIETY
The elegant British institution Café Royal was founded in the mid-1860s and, over the past 150 years, has boasted patrons ranging from Oscar Wilde and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor. The building, which was closed in late 2008, has undergone a full restoration — with interiors featuring a treasure chest of gold leaf, Carrara marble and brass fixtures — as well as a redesign at the hands of David Chipperfield. It is now a hotel with 159 rooms, including restaurants, bars, six gilt-edged suites and even a meditation room downstairs, and it will be fully open by March. Ten Room, the brasserie-style eatery located within the hotel, has just opened, and features all-day dining, including à la carte breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and afternoon tea. — LORELEI MARFIL
