Artfully blended ambiance<\/h3>\n

Enter Virt\u00f9 Bar through a bookshelf-lined hall and immediately find yourself immersed in opulence. The French Art Deco-inspired space features plush seating, polished dark marble, and gleaming brass accents, all designed to evoke the glamor of a 1920s Parisian salon. And yet, Japanese elements are subtly incorporated in the artwork, statuary, textiles, and overall craftsmanship.<\/p>\n
