Summary:
"In early August 1889, César Ritz, a Swiss hotelier highly regarded for his exquisite taste, found himself at the
Savoy
Hotel
in
London
. He had come at the request of Richard D'Oyly Carte, the financier of Gilbert & Sullivan's comic operas, who had modernized theater and was now looking to create the world's best
hotel
. D'Oyly Carte soon seduced Ritz to move to
London
with his team, which included Auguste Escoffier, the chef de cuisine known for his elevated, original dishes. The result was a
hotel
and restaurant like no one had ever experienced, run in often mysterious and always extravagant ways--which created quite a scandal once exposed."--From publisher.
