Ace Hotel Shoreditch generously opened the 7th floor and Rooftop to guests of Magic Dinner 2017, providing a stunning venue with fabulous views of the City of London, plus drink and food for the After Party. Cocktails and delicious snacks got the evening off to a fine start, followed by an absolutely superb four course, sit-down dinner cooked by top London chefs who had come together, from their different restaurants, for the night.
