The Salon Vert

✦ Matched space

The Salon Vert is defined by its formal long-table layout and richly detailed period interior. Deep green timber panelling, gilt-framed mirrors and ornate ceiling plasterwork frame a central chandelier, tall sash windows, a patterned Persian rug and polished wood floors. A decorative fireplace completes the room. Heavy curtains allow privacy and light control, while a PA system, speakers, Wi-Fi and air conditioning are provided. The space feels cosy and old-school Parisian in character, tucked away from the street, and suits small executive groups and intimate dining parties that prefer formal, traditional settings.
