Villa Rene Lalique in Alsace, France is the seven room trophy hotel and restaurant of the owner of the iconic crystal brand Lalique. As you can imagine, it has uber luxe furnishings and accessories, from Lalique Maison furniture, the finest crystal glasses and carafes to crystal panels designed by Damien Hirst concealing a 20,000 bottle wine cellar. And then there’s three star Michelin chef Jean Georges Klein who came to Villa Lalique last year and brought his culinary team. Pied a Terre tapped Klein’s number two sous chef to do the bi-annual remakes of the restaurant’s menu and, once again, it’s a winner.
