Glamsino Royale: Carnaval was the perfect night of glitz, glamour and good fortune. Hosted by Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar, the event transformed the 24th and 25th floors of the hotel into a high-rollers’ paradise with casino table games, Brazilian bites and party tunes spun by DJ Sharyn Stone. Those with the lucky hand won casino chips to partake in big-ticket raffles, while others created their own good fortune by bidding at the silent auction.
