The excellent wine list features Rhône Valley wines by small producers impossible to find outside the region. A signature Le Dôme cocktail (pink praline syrup, pink Champagne, Elyx vodka and lemon) or afternoon tea in hotel bar La Dôme – fast becoming a fashionable address in its own right – is a highlight of any stay.
