No doubt a trio of portraits has caught your eye. Look closer and you’ll find the stories of these mysterious beauties infused throughout the lounge.
Decades ago in Sichuan, a widowed merchant raised three daughters on the banks of the mighty Yangtze. May, Zaza and Fei. May was a poet with an incurable case of wanderlust. She charmed her way aboard the Orient Express and set a course for Europe. With a gift for languages and a nose for wine, she was a hit among the bohemian set in the salons of Paris.
Guided by fate, each of the Sichuan sister’s paths led them to a new city, full of promise and home to a vibrant community of their countrymen. There, in a humble restaurant with a kitchen garden overlooking another mighty river, May and Zaza found Fei cooking the delicious dishes of home, seasoned with her precious peppers.
We celebrate their adventure and their reunion by bringing people together on the banks of that very same river. Shadows
of their meandering journeys are weaved into the walls; their silhouettes echo in every space. Discover dramatic displays on
The Stage. Share a dish or two and note how the Belgian beer from the Barley Bar complements the flavours so well it can only have been paired by a poet. Take in the view from the Pepper Deck and feel finally at home.
