Chef Kerry Simon will introduce a new restaurant early next year at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana. Mansion by Simon will give the illusion a rock star’s decadent home, thanks to lavish design by Chicago-based 555 International. Lighting elements include a floating glass box chandelier with broken crystal scattered within and a chandelier made out of motorcycle chains and parts. The bar will be reminiscent of a rock star’s library collection with books and musical items on display, while a glass coffee table is filled with authentic memorabilia from chef Simon, including a note from David Bowie. Additional design details call for a customized 14-foot-tall wine display made from combining acrylic rods and LED lights, a grand piano that doubles as a dining table, and a king’s table featuring massive thrones as dining chairs.
The restaurant will be divided into distinct areas, including a dining room, living room, bedroom, library, studio, and patio.
