THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

Cerulean leather chairs with subtly curved backs and darkly grained bubinga wood tables provide a comfortable modern ambiance in this airy dining room. Overhead, the soaring wood beams of the original building have been preserved for a classic touch, while a glass wall faces an atmospheric interior bamboo garden strewn with paper lanterns. Much like the Euro-Japanese fusion fare, the tabletops combine Christofle silver and Riedel glassware with elegant lacquer and gold-leaf settings to create a seamless elegance that spans East and West. In the evening, la Luce is open to outside guests. In the morning, the venue is only for in-house guests, serving both Japanese- and Western-style breakfasts.
