Adour Alain Ducasse

The main dining area is surrounded by wine displays in temperature-controlled armoires. Given the existing turn-of-the-century architecture of the St. Regis, special care was taken to create an environment that is both contemporary and dynamic, and sensitive to the building?s architectural and historic context.

Elegant vitrine portals have been inserted into the existing stone wall entry and corridor to open the space up to Astor Court. In the main dining room, the existing architecture is covered in silver leaf and the walls are sheathed with a backlit, seeded glass veil etched with an abstract grapevine pattern, allowing one to look through the new to the old. Leather-covered furnishings in wine tones will help create a warm, glowing atmosphere.

The main dining area will also have three private dining rooms. Two oval-shaped rooms with mirrored ceilings and fabric-covered walls will be located in the corners of the back of the dining room. The oval rooms will be visually connected by a five-panel mural by the acclaimed New York artist Nancy Lorenz.

A third rectangular dining room will feature 50 leather and bronze wine lockers that enable guests to store either 12 regular bottles or 6 magnums of wine, as well as personal wine accessories, and a custom-designed album to record and preserve wine labels.
