Regent Hotels & Resorts, part of IHG's Luxury & Lifestyle Collection, has staged the global debut of its new pop-up immersive dining offering, Regent Taste Studio, blending culinary talent with artists across creative disciplines.
Regent Taste Studio is a one-of-a-kind concept that provides a stage for unique creative collaborations between creative talent from the realms of art, design, fashion and gastronomy. As a new on-property Regent hallmark, the interactive dining experience brings together Regent chefs and artists – from fashion designers to film producers to musicians – to create multisensory culinary moments.
Thoughtfully designed for the modern luxury traveller, Regent Taste Studio will make its official launch at the newly-opened Regent Phu Quoc in Vietnam later this year, traversing the globe with pop-up activations across Australia, the UK, France, Singapore and the USA.
Regent Taste Studio aims to deliver unforgettable epicurean experiences as part of the Regent guest journey by combining emerging culinary talent and creatives across music, design, performance, and visual art, according to Tom Rowntree, Vice President, Global Luxury Brands for IHG Hotels & Resorts.
"We created the Taste Studio to appeal to the most discerning guests – globetrotters and tastemakers who appreciate design and craftsmanship and seek deeply sensorial, immersive experiences rooted in authenticity. Each edition of the Regent Taste Studio will be a unique, arresting curation to stimulate the senses while showcasing its signature blend of culinary expertise and cultural exploration to captivate guests' imagination."
In the first chapter of Regent Taste Studio, Regent Phu Quoc chefs collaborated with world-renowned Spanish visual artist Mark Rios, better known as Mr Dripping, to unveil the new concept at an exceptional three-night invitation-only experience in Singapore.
The year 2022 marks a period of milestones in the re-imagination of Regent following its acquisition by IHG in 2018. Since joining the IHG family, Regent has been on a journey to become the epitome of modern luxury. Regent Taste Studio is one of the bold new hallmarks that seeks to provide elevated gastronomic experiences beyond culinary excellence.
