I am delighted to present my cuisine in this elegantly reimagined space, evoking the timeless charm of a Parisian brasserie.
Located in the heart of the Honmachi area, Brasserie RÉGINE has been thoughtfully prepared to cater to the diverse needs of those who work and live nearby, as well as our hotel guests.
