REIGN restaurant at the Fairmont Royal York hotel draws from the hotel’s regal past and creates a classical royal garden atmosphere with a modern twist.
The main dining rooms feature a custom mural with accents in gold – designed in collaboration with Calico Wallpaper. Walnut tables with metal inlay pair with shimmering velvet and leather upholstered seating. A beautiful collection of royal chess pieces surrounds the pantry, designed in collaboration with Moss and Lam. Exotic flora and fauna motif are playfully woven into the furniture. The horn-shaped fluted glass lamps and the abstracted rhinoceros cabinet are such examples.
A series of metal mesh archways create an ethereal approach to the private dining room. Clad in royal blue leather, the room features a gem-inspired chandelier and artwork by Rebecca Gouldson.
The café/bar and fireplace lounge invite guests to linger after dining. The colour palette is a vibrant night garden with tones of crimson, maroon and ochre. The central, double-sided fireplace creates intimate nooks and niches for seating. The 16-seat red marble bar features a trolley-like shelving system to transition from morning breakfast to evening drinks.
