The Cristal Room by Anne-Sophie Pic
Transformed by the Parisian studio Gilles et Boissier, the designers behind the Baccarat Hotel in New York, The Cristal Room is a thoroughly elegant affair, thanks in part to its collaboration with French fine crystal brand Baccarat. Setting the tone for highly decorated French chef Anne-Sophie Pic's cuisine, the design captures the spirit of Baccarat, exemplified by an entrance with a chandelier that embodies the four elements of earth, air, fire and water.
Pic, who has garnered 10 Michelin stars across her restaurants including one-Michelin-starred La Dame de Pic in Singapore, draws from her storied lineage and decades of culinary innovation to introduce dishes that interpret Asian ingredients for a top-class French fine-dining experience, including Yunnan peas with geranium rosat leaves and caviar; and Les Berlingots ASP, pasta filled with 24-months aged comté.
