Gilt is located just beyond the wrought iron gates of The Palace Courtyard, in the premises that once housed the celebrated Le Cirque 2000. Defined by Webster’s as a thin layer of gold, the name Gilt pays tribute to The Gilded Age of the late nineteenth century, a period of time in American history in which many great fortunes were born. One such fortune, that of Pennsylvania railroad magnate Henry Villard, resulted in the creation of The Villard Mansion in 1882.
