A New Chapter Unfolds in The Garden Room at The Lanesborough
The Lanesborough unveils a new vision for The Garden Room, debuting first as an elegant temporary pop-up launched recently on 20 March ahead of a full-scale transformation into a sophisticated cigar and whisky lounge set to open in July 2026.
Conceived as a preview of what’s to come, the interim space blends warm timber tones, deep green accents and lush planting to create an intimate, garden-connected retreat overlooking Hyde Park, offering a seamless interplay between indoor refinement and outdoor ease. At its core is one of London’s most distinguished cigar collections, featuring rare Cuban releases and vintage editions, complemented by a spirit-led drinks programme of exceptional whiskies, Cognacs and rums, alongside a refined menu designed to pair effortlessly with the cigar experience.
The forthcoming permanent space, designed by 1508 London, will elevate the concept into a richly layered, immersive destination rooted in craftsmanship, heritage and timeless design – positioning The Garden Room as a definitive address for modern connoisseurs.
114 Faubourg: The Soul of a Brasserie at the Heart of a Palace

Now open daily, the restaurant introduces a refreshed menu rooted in classic French brasserie cuisine, elevated through seasonal ingredients and a contemporary lens. Designed for sharing, dishes range from refined aperitif plates to signature mains such as the celebrated roast Landes chicken, alongside a reimagined Sunday roast experience. Complementing the cuisine is a strong focus on wine, with curated experiences including winemaker-led dinners, sommelier-hosted weekends, and exclusive cellar tastings, offering guests rare access to exceptional vintages and one of Paris’s most impressive collections.
Balancing sophistication with an inviting, almost familiar atmosphere, 114 Faubourg embodies a distinctly Parisian art de vivre – refined yet relaxed, and designed as much for lingering as for indulgence.

This season marks a first in the history of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc: the launch of an exclusive brunch at the Eden-Roc restaurant. Offered on just three dates, 26 April, 3 May and 10 May, it is conceived as an exceptional Sunday interlude overlooking the sea. In a luminous and refined setting, the buffet unfolds with elegance, live cooking showcases the chefs’ creativity, and a carving trolley presents a meat or fish dish, highlighting a distinctive gastronomic experience. Beyond gastronomy, the hotel deepens its environmental commitment through a partnership with WWF France, supporting Mediterranean conservation efforts via guest contributions – an initiative that seamlessly aligns luxury with responsibility.
For those seeking ultimate privacy, the property’s four exceptional villas offer a more intimate Riviera experience, combining secluded estate-style living with full access to the hotel’s legendary service and amenities.
