COEX 2008

Our 7th annual CEO Reception dinner and Private Dinner Party, at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa, named “America’s Top Restaurant” in 2006. The old world charm of this luxurious mansion reflects the fact that it was formerly the private estate of the King of Spain.

This special event took place on Monday, February 25th during COEX 2008. The Royal Palms Resort and Spa is located at 5200 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85018. Dinner and live music began at 8:00 p.m. with a party immediately following from 9:30 p.m. until 2:00 a.m.

The dinner featured World class food with wine pairings and live music. Our private, special host for the evening will be Executive Chef Lee Hilson, James Beard award nominee, of Iron Chef fame, who met and greeted our guests, presenting each with an autographed cook book.  Chef Lee Hillson will also prepared a special dish presentation for us. Included in its many awards, The Royal Palm received a AAA Four Diamond Award in both 2004 and 2005 was named the Top U.S. Hotel and Restaurant in 2005 by Zagat.

The party began at 9:30 p.m. and included music by the infamous “Psycho-Billy Rodeo Band”, a classic rock band that’s a little crazy and a lot of fun, four open bars and personalized hand-rolled cigars by a “Cuban Style Cigar Roller” on the scenic patio will complete the evening.

The Royal Palms atmosphere is that of a lavish residence. Antique furniture, huge stone fireplaces and views of tranquil gardens bring to you the old world charm of this estate.  Enchanting stone walkways curve through citrus gardens with Camelback Mountain providing a spectacular visual backdrop.
