As of yesterday afternoon, representatives from the Phoenician said they had no information that Mary Elaine’s, finally, would close after months of rumors that the resort’s legendary upscale dining establishment would become a new concept from celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who has a partnership with Starwood Hotels.
