Julian Niccolini, Frank Ginsberg, Martha Stewart, Alex von Bidder

Julian Niccolini and Alex von Bidder, managing partners of the Four Seasons, were honored with the Legends in Hos- pitality award at the American Hospital of Paris Foundation benefit dinner.

Guests contributing to the hospital's pediatric center renovation included Pete Peterson, Martha Stewart, Joan and Frank Ginsberg, Christine Cachot, Susan Magrino, Gary Jaworski, Amb. Howard Leach, Daniel Ponton, and Claude Wasserstein.

The evening featured a live auction conducted by Adrien Meyer, expert on impressionist and modern art at Christie's. One auction item, a premium lunch table in the Grill Room reserved every day for one month, was won by Blackstone Group's chairman Steve Schwarzman. The standing lunch- time table, for which Schwarzman paid $7,000, already did belong to him! But, hey, it's for charity!
