Sam Fox’s soon-to-open luxury hotel, The Global Ambassador, announced new details concerning all five original restaurants that will open within the hotel in mid-November.
The Global Ambassador will combine a refined and elevated hospitality experience that is locally connected yet created through a global lens. The restaurants embrace that same ethos and are influenced by Fox’s extensive international travels – highlighting his favorite dishes and flavors from countries and cultures around the world.
“As the hotel name implies, the restaurants are an expression of all these spectacular places. We’re now several months away from opening our doors and I’m excited to showcase what has been almost a decade in the making,” said Fox, who is opening the hotel under his company Author & Edit Hospitality in a statement. “These five restaurants are gathering places, not only for travelers and hotel guests, but for locals who have been instrumental in our success.”
Guests will soon experience the collection of culinary experiences, including:
Le Âme:
Le Âme is a Parisian steakhouse that pays homage to traditional French fare with the steakhouse touch. The menu has a wide variety of classic French dishes like Steak Frites Au Poivre and French Onion Soup along with a new take on dishes like Tuna Carpaccio and Brick-Pressed Chicken Coq Au Vin. The cocktail program is also designed to mirror the cuisine – ingredients, perfectly executed with drinks like Le Spritz Nouveau and French for Grapefruit.
