An exclusive group of Chaîne members were treated to an extraordinary event hosted by the Hotel Éclat located within Parkview Green in Beijing. The theme of the multi-venue event was "Masterpiece - Inspired by Art, Driven by Passion" a celebration of great food, great wine and great art.

The Hotel Éclat houses one of the most spectacular private collections of modern and contemporary art in Asia including well-known artists such as Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol Pierre Matter, Zhang Guolang, Chen Wen Ling, Gao Xiao Wu and Zou Liang. It has a strong reputation amongst international jetsetters and art connoisseurs alike.

Since becoming General Manager Swiss native and Chaîne member, Dany Luetzel has expanded Éclat's visibility, so more people can enjoy this "hidden gem" in Beijing.

Dinner was served in four different locations giving opportunities to see and experience the hotel's wonderful art collection. Starting with the reception at Parkview Green Art Museum where Louis Roederer Brut Vintage Rose 2011 accompanied wonderful canapés.

The evening continued with incredible food paired with the finest wines.
