In anticipation of it five-year anniversary, the upmarket SLS South Beach hotel is rolling out a property-wide exploration of all five senses.
Aptly named Savoring Luxurious Senses, the celebration will treat guests to a variety of sensory experiences across the property. Those include art installations to visually stimulate the sense of sight, exclusive signature scents, nostalgic playlists celebrating the sense of hearing, and many more Sexy Little Surprises to be announced.
All the planned activities will culminate in a five-year anniversary party.
Beginning with the sense of Taste, Chef Yoshi Migita of Katsuya and Chef Tito Vargas of the Bazaar by José Andrés have created specially curated tasting menus. Launched June 26, both menus will run through the end of July.
Katsuya’s Five-Year Tasting Menu includes:
Katsuya's tasting menu is $110 per couple
The Bazaar;s Five-Year Tasting Menu includes:
The Bazaar's tasting menu is $75 per person
“We are very proud of how our culinary perspective has evolved over the last five years,” Chef Vargas said of the menus. “We feel that these menus not only reflect where we have come from, but also where we are going.”
The menus are part of an exclusive Five-Year Anniversary Room Package which includes a tasting menu for two at either Katsuya or The Bazaar, a complimentary room upgrade at arrival (pending availability), late check out, unlimited usage of URB-E electric folding bicycles, and welcome cocktails at Hyde or Bar Centro.
Packages are bookable through December 31, though blackout dates apply.
My take
At most, a tasting menu for two will cost $150 per couple, and Katsuya's even includes some alcohol. Any time you can get such a gourmet offering for such a reasonable price, go for it!
