10 Arts, the splashy eatery backed by Eric Ripert, opens May 20 in the Ritz-Carlton's lobby. It's been tucked behind playwood during construction.
Tuesday, I took better overview photos from the balcony overlooking the lobby. There were shot from the Broad Street side. The large red panels at the rear light up.
The first photo covers the lounge, which is the hotel lobby. Note how the wine rack has been contoured around the circular skylight above the basement ballroom, which is directly beneath the rotunda. At left is one of several light-up archways in the dining room. At the rear, beneath the red panels, is the bar, which is topped with white granite. Color scheme throughout has lots of fuchsia and brown. The room looks dramatically sexy at night.
See menus here.
The bottom photo includes part of the 10 Arts dining room, which is on the Chestnut Street side, beside the columns and tucked behind them.
