Following a slew of reincarnations since first opening in the 1920s, Ibis Mediterranean Restaurant & Lounge was reimagined by Andres Escobar—president and CEO of Montreal-based Andres Escobar & Associates—when it reopened this past April as a signature restaurant at the Kimberly Hotel.

Flush against royal blue microsuede-upholstered walls, a series of oversized burgundy banquettes along two raised platforms flanking the main dining room create an intimate alternative to centrally located open-table seating.

A transitional space to the dining room, the bar features geometric mosaic flooring contrasted with large columns wrapped in sinuous lines characteristic of an Art Nouveau aesthetic. Heavy black-and-brown Murano glass lights fixtures hang over the bartop.

Silver-tinted glass chandeliers illuminate the spacious second floor lounge, which features recessed ceilings molded in a geometric design typical of the 1920s.

The first floor lounge is punctuated with round studded ottomans, plush banquettes, and beaded drapery to exude Hollywood glamour.

Where the stage used to be, a private dining room now sits separated from the main dining area by a glass and metal wall with integrated shelving lined with wine bottles.
