At a hotel known for its lush, plant-filled spaces (including the rooftop pool terrace), it’s only natural that the botanical theme would extend to its in-house restaurant, Ardor. Helmed by one of the world’s most renowned vegetable chefs, John Fraser, Ardor makes plant-based ingredients the star of the show. The dining room, which feels like it was carved out of a secret garden, will have you feeling as lovestruck as the name suggests.
