An Adventure around the World
Guests present in the exclusive launch were treated to a tour of cuisines from Grand Hyatt’s Show Kitchen and a showcase of the guests’ personal travels – all these and more at the event, held in partnership with Metro. The ballroom was filled with activities that evoked the art of travel, with an immersive LED that transported guests through different scenic landscapes. A special menu prepared by Grand Hyatt’s top chef, Mark Hagan, that featured dishes from Turkey, Greece, Italy, and Spain, was also a highlight of the evening.
The event was elegantly hosted by Raul Manzano, Editor-in-Chief of Metro Society and host of EIC on the Move, alongside Christi McGarry, host of Beached. Both exemplified the sophisticated and cosmopolitan spirit of the occasion and the newly launched credit card.
