VEUVE CLICQUOT Opens Its First Luxury La Grande Dame Bar
at the landmark Liberty Hotel in Boston
Boston, MA—January 25, 2008 — Champagne house Veuve Clicquot is launching its first ever branded bar in the U.S. inside the historic Liberty Hotel, former site of the Charles Street jail in Boston.
Nestled in an elegant alcove inside the second floor rotunda, the striking silhouette of the La Grande Dame’s onyx bottle serves as a décor centerpiece, while the brilliant mandarin yellow counter is flanked on both sides by crystal spires. A seating area of round chairs and modern couches beneath sconce lighting further enhances the sensuous ambiance.
Patrons can enjoy flutes & bottles of La Grande Dame as well as full selection of current and past La Grande Dame Vintage and Vintage Rose.
“It is delightful to bring to life the elegant finesse of Veuve Clicquot’s La Grande Dame champagne, created as a tribute to the 1972 bicentennial of our founder Madame Clicquot. The Liberty Hotel, with its rich history and perfect location in the heart of Beacon Hill, provides an ideal partner for us in this project” explained Samantha Barnes, U.S. Director of Business Operations at Veuve Clicquot.
The La Grande Dame bar joins two other Veuve Clicquot bars which have recently opened in Hamburg, Germany and Macao, China.
