Curated by award-winning French chef Olivier Elzer, the Midnight Supper featured a signature menu of beef jelly and horseradish water cress emulsion, poached Brittany blue lobster with hazelnut butter and French milk-fed veal fillet cooked in lime-tree.
The St. Regis Hong Kong itself was designed by André Fu, who envisioned a Hong Kong mansion that blended the brand's elegance and the territory's diverse architecture and culture. In addition to 129 rooms and suites that come with St. Regis butler service, the property also boasts L’Envol French and Rùn Chinese restaurants as well as The Drawing Room, which caters to afternoon tea and live jazz music fans.
