To bring this partnership to life, Café Ginori’s master of plating guides guests through the menu, crafted to reflect Italian cuisine and paired with Ginori’s collections—Oriente Italiano, Il Viaggio di Nettuno, and Labirinto. Each visit is a journey through the art of plating through four distinct dining experiences throughout the day, from breakfast to aperitivo.
Each Café Ginori brings guests into a realm of Italian allegria with select pieces from Ginori’s Domus home décor collection, from the Oriente Italiano wallpaper to the embroidered fabrics on cushions and chairs. Every element of Café Ginori from the décor to the platingis designed to offer a multi-sensory journey with more than 25 signature dishes of Italian classics with a twist.
This global expansion builds on the connection between the two brands that began with The St. Regis Venice, where Ginori 1735 designed a takeover of the hotels waterfront garden terrace, marking its entry into textiles. Similar terrace concepts will come to life at The St. Regis Riyadh, The St. Regis Downtown Dubai, and more locations.
