The Palace offers a limousine pick-up service.
The awaiting feast comprised an oyster and beluga caviar appetiser, scallops and foie gras, a champagne sorbet/palate cleanser, a veal-and-lobster main course and for desert, a selection of treats, all accompanied by fine wine and followed with tea and coffee.
There was no room for cheese, as much as I would have loved to have eaten even more.
The private dining experience was intimate and romantic and was made complete by the background music provided by the Argentinian band, courtesy of the hotel's Asado restaurant.
But no sooner had we digested this sumptuous feast than it was breakfast time!
Fruit, caviar, breads, pastries, eggs benedicte and bite-sized cakes, all washed down with champagne, juice, coffee and tea made for a satisfying start to the day and prepared us for our final treat - the spa treatment.
