2015 AHA and Devil's Lair Accommodation Hotels Gala Ball

'Return to Versialles' transported over 570 guests to olden-day France for a journey of culinary excellence from Bistro Guillaume Chef Guillaume Brahimi that was accompanied by an elegant selection of wines, beers and spirits. A large 33m screen light up the room, setting the scene of royal exuberance and indulgance as French Castles and the Palace of Versaille drifted across the screen, a magnificent background to the acknowledging of Accommodation Venue and Management Employee excellence.
