The focal point of the party was the 5,000 plus square foot, three-story suite that merges romance and abstract elements of nature in a luxurious and luminous setting.  The three astounding levels include a grand reception foyer, a master suite plus an additional en suite bedroom, living room, dining room, entertainment lounge, a private rooftop deck and garden with an elevated spa for one-of-a-kind viewing of the skyline.  Katz's personal touches live throughout the space; a stunning 20-foot 'Waterfall of Diamonds' chandelier, extraordinary displays of original artwork created by Katz expressly for The Jewel Suite, uniquely designed jeweled china from the artistry and imagination of Katz, exclusive jewelry designs that "live" permanently in the walls, and in spectacular, suspended 'jewel boxes', and breathtaking 15-foot windows in the main salon, with its own grand piano.

Throughout the evening, guests dined on hors d' oeuvres created by the hotel's Executive Chef Jaques Sorci. In addition to savory items such as the Tuna Tartare in Mini Waffle Cones and Truffled Mac & Cheese, party-goers also sampled recreations of signature Michel Richard dishes with the Mini Michel Richard Lobster Burgers and Michel Richard Crispy Chicken & Mashed Potatoes.
