Regent Hotels & Resorts reimagines the world of fine dining with two multisensory pop-up dining experiences, known as Regent Taste Studio, that blend the worlds of culinary and art. Participating chefs come from the brand’s hotels including Regent Phu Quoc, Regent Shanghai on The Bund and Regent Chongqing.

Tom Rowntree, vice president of Luxury & Lifestyle Brands, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Each Taste Studio is a unique culinary immersion, celebrating expertise through a creative and great story between the Chef and the artist. The fusion of culinary and artistic talent brings to life a dining experience that is truly immersive, leaving an indelible impression on guests long after the evening ends.”

Four chefs from Shanghai and Chongqing participate in The Magic of Beauty of Contrast, drawing inspiration from the stained-glass artwork of the hotel. The chefs come together with artists in modern dance, experimental music, glassmaking and digital multimedia based on five chapters. Visual lighting and sound effects transport guests to a faraway world.
