Following the hustle and bustle of daytime, an altogether different buzz will be switched on at The Living Room: the fireplace starts, the lights will be turned down, candles will be lit, and at 18:00, the passage of time will be celebrated by cracking open a bottle by sabrage and tasting champagne.
Every family observes some sort of rituals that reinforce a sense of belonging. IGNITE THE NIGHT is the Kempinski way of creating the kind of cosy intimacy that guests will appreciate and remember. This daily ritual will separate the active day and transition the guests to a relaxing evening time.
Drinking champagne is a ritual. The partner of the hotel for IGNITE THE NIGHT is Bor és Más, the distributor of Premium Taittinger champagne. Three varieties will be served at The Living Room: Taittinger Brut Reserve, Taittinger Prestige Rosé and the limited vintage edition Taittinger Les Folies de la Marquetterie.
The first bottle will be opened using the virtuoso sabrage technique and shared with the guests at The Living Room.
Opening the bottle by sabrage caught on at the beginning of the 19th century at the time of the Napoleonic wars, in the circles of French light infantry. Sabrage suggests strength and nobility. Legend has it that Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, who was named Veuve Clicquot, took over the business after her husband’s death. Napoleon’s soldiers wanted to impress the young widow by performing sabrage, but they also celebrated their war victories with this opening technique.
“Champagne! In victory one deserves it; in defeat one needs it.” Napoleon Bonaparte
The IGNITE THE NIGHT ceremony will take place at The Living Room every evening at 18:00, starting 4 February 2019.
To quote another French classic, the fox in “The Little Prince”, the hotel aspires to having guests also adorn their heart in expectation and look forward to this evening ritual.
“It would have been better if you’d come back at the same hour,” said the fox. “If, for example, you come at four o’clock in the afternoon, then at three o’clock I would start feeling happy. As the minutes pass, I feel happier and happier. At four o’clock, I’m already full of excitement and worry, and understand what treasure it is to be happy. But if you just show up any time, I will never know when to get my heart adorned and ready to see you… You must observe the right rituals…” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: “The Little Prince”
