This
October, like nearly 40 countries around the world, Monaco will turn pink for
Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In collaboration with the charity ‘Pink Ribbon Monaco’ and in celebration
of a new breast cancer screening center in the Principality of Monaco, Hôtel Métropole will show its support with a ‘Pink
October’ theme running throughout the hotel from 02 to 31 October 2012.
Besides pink lighting and other pink touches of the interior, the bar manager, Mickaël Bellec, has
created the ‘Rose Passion Cocktail’:
a cognac-based mix infused with Madagascar vanilla, white cocoa, a wild
strawberry liqueur and dairy cream. The cocktail will be served in a pink
shaker with strawberry candy. In addition, the head pastry cook, Satomi Kanai,
has designed a desert called ‘Pink’ made
up of egg white, hibiscus jelly and a yuzu sauce.
The
‘Pink October’ theme is in keeping
with the Hotel Métropole’s ongoing artistic themes which are installed
approximately every four months. Maud Lesur, the Artistic Director at Hotel
Métropole Monte-Carlo, works together with “Miss Rose”, Hotel Métropole’s
highly talented in-house stylist and florist, to dress and transform the hotel
throughout the seasons.
