Following the overwhelming success of the summer edition, this second Pop-up Pastry experience is entirely dedicated to the magic of the holidays.
Set in the hotel’s lobby and beautifully decorated with sparkling lights, the festive pop-up offers a refined selection of exclusive treats with a subtle Japanese touch.
