The reception area proper is farther back, in another sun-drenched room overlooking the Carlton’s new garden courtyard . Encased in glass beneath the reception desk is the distinctive red clay powder familiar to French Open tennis fans worldwide. It’s another nod to hotel history: The red clay was first used on the Carlton’s own tennis courts in 1926 for the “match of the century” between French star Suzanne Lenglen and her American rival, Helen Wills.
Auer and architect Richard Lavelle, who oversaw the renovations, have kept the Carlton’s legendary two-domed front and its signature Riviera Restaurant, whose raised terrace again will be the spot to see and be seen at this year’s festival. Additions include a new cocktail bar — Bar °58 — set back from the lobby ; Rüya, a Turkish-themed restaurant; and a new fitness and spa complex called The C Club, which includes a full-size boxing ring.
But the true transformation is in the rear of the building. What used to be a dreary parking lot has been enclosed and reimagined as 215,000 square feet of lush, landscaped garden, with sleek sunbathing decks, handcrafted cabanas and a glittery infinity pool. Framing the garden are two new wings with 37 luxury apartment-style residences, ranging in size from around 900 to more than 5,000 square feet. All residences have full access to hotel amenities. All this luxury, naturally, will cost you.
