Epicurean serves up a second course with a significant expansion.
Building on the Epicurean Hotel’s success as a gathering place for foodies, connoisseurs, and culinary explorers from around the world, the renowned Autograph Collection property is preparing to serve up a $21 million expansion. Located across Howard Avenue from the main hotel, the expansion will include 51 new guest rooms and suites, a private lobby, meeting space, and a rooftop terrace.
While the overall palette and character of the guestrooms and public areas will remain consistent with the main hotel, the expansion provides an opportunity for innovation and refinement. Public areas will feature a welcoming contrast of warm woods with cool concrete and stainless steel. A focal artwork installation created with wine and champagne corks, and a contemporary liquor bottle chandelier will greet arriving guests in the lobby and mark the beginning of their culinary journey. The journey continues into the guestrooms, where the tasting table, butcher block countertops, and soft neutral palette inspired by the earth and its produce, invite guests to open a bottle of wine and relax. Improved technology as well as updated furnishings, finishes, and artwork, will enhance the overall guest experience, and ensure that the second course is even better than the first. Coming Summer 2023. With this addition, Epicurean will have a total of 188 rooms.
Completed: February 2024
