St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and Ginori 1735, the renowned Italian porcelain brand, have announced a landmark partnership to unveil Café Ginori, a global dining concept celebrating Italian artistry and luxury hospitality. The first Café Ginori will open on November 26 at The St. Regis Florence, where Ginori 1735 was founded, followed by an expansion to Abu Dhabi in early 2025, with additional locations planned worldwide.
This collaboration promises a bold reinterpretation of luxury dining, blending Ginori 1735’s vibrant craftsmanship with St. Regis’s signature elegance. Guests will enjoy an immersive experience that merges la dolce vita with contemporary culinary artistry. Each Café Ginori will feature creative plating, inspired menus, and striking interiors designed to embody Italian joy, or allegria.
A Culinary Revolution
Café Ginori invites guests on a journey through four distinct dining experiences, from breakfast to aperitivo, with over 25 signature dishes reimagining Italian classics. The experience is guided by the Master of Plating, who pairs bold presentations with iconic Ginori collections such as Oriente Italiano and Il Viaggio di Nettuno.
Interior design plays a central role, incorporating elements from Ginori 1735’s Domus home décor line, including bespoke wallpapers and embroidered furnishings. Every detail—from the plating to the décor—reflects the collaboration’s commitment to artistry and innovation.
Expanding the Legacy
The Florence launch builds on a relationship that began at The St. Regis Venice, where Ginori 1735 transformed the hotel’s waterfront terrace. Future collaborations will bring similar concepts to The St. Regis Riyadh and The St. Regis Downtown Dubai.
St. Regis’s Senior Vice President, Jenni Benzaquen, described the partnership as a perfect fusion of Ginori’s creativity and St. Regis’s timeless glamour, creating “a sensory journey at our most iconic addresses.” Alain Prost, President & CEO of Ginori 1735, emphasized the collaboration’s bold and unexpected approach, blending Italian hospitality with lifestyle artistry.
Exclusive Keepsakes
As part of the partnership, guests can purchase a custom-designed Ginori coaster set inspired by St. Regis’s signature cocktail, the Bloody Mary. These exclusive items are available online and at select locations, serving as elegant mementos of the collaboration.
Looking Ahead
The success of Café Ginori at The St. Regis Florence is set to pave the way for its global expansion, underscoring Marriott International’s commitment to delivering innovative luxury experiences.
