Ambience

The creativity and international influences are also reflected in the interior of Restaurant Haerlin**: Chinese silk wallpapers and delicate gold embossing harmonize perfectly with the soft crème and green tones. A true highlight for wine enthusiasts is the custom-made wine cabinet made of glass and polished brass, housing the finest wines and rare vintages – accompanied by an elegant sommelier's high table. Since 1919, the Four Seasons have been immortalized in the restaurant as four artistic Nymphenburg porcelain cherubs, adding a unique, timeless elegance to the space.
