It’s really sexy inside – a long illuminated bar flanked by Louis XV-style metallic stools and small Murano glass lights above. On the walls are a series of large paintings with frames so deep you can actually sit inside and become part of the artworks. The paintings are by 17th-century artist Claude Gelée, known as “Le Lorrain”.
