A modern-day interpretation of a Victorian romance, Dear Donna takes inspiration from the era of refined sensibilities where gathering over a leisurely meal spread over courses, fueled on by cocktails and conversations was commonplace.

Dear Donna goes through varied moods throughout the day. What remains constant is a menu of comfort fare derived from recipes collected during travels, signature concoctions that redefine the art of drinking and an easy-going playlist that is unobtrusive.

Located in the lush settings of the ridge and envisioned like the home of an old friend, each room at Dear Donna serves a different purpose with a distinct vibe, yet everything comes together to play its part and hint at a mysterious woman who has left her intangible mark behind. The art on the wall, an embellishment on the table, that pattern in the tiles, even an artifact left behind – the masculine design palette is peppered with feminine energy.

Taking a cue from hotspots around the globe – from Stockholm to New York, London to Paris – Dear Donna is cosmopolitan, comfortable and could blend in anywhere in the world with elements from the past being given an urban treatment. You can laze in the green-specked courtyard or bask in the sun-kissed patio dining during the afternoon and come evening, start with a drink at the bar before sinking into one of the Chesterfield sofas at the lounge.
