The Kimpton hotel transformed their 24th and 25th floors into a glamorous casino last night for the Glamsino Royale: London Calling event benefiting ActionAIDS. This year the party took on a royal theme. Guests noshed on British bites from executive chef Caitlin Mateo of Square 1682 and sipped on beer from Yards Brewing Company, wine from J. Lohr Vineyards, and signature cocktails from Philadelphia Distilling while lounging on mod décor or hitting the casino table games from Tumbling Dice. Matt Beierschmitt, better known as DJ Sharyn Stone, spun UK favorites all night long. Last year Glamsino raised over $10,000, and was well on track to hit that number last night.
