Artesian

Cocktail Bars $$$$

Artesian was named the World's Best Bar four years running between 2012 and 2015 and remains one of London's most accomplished hotel cocktail rooms. The Chinoiserie-inspired interior at the Langham is one of the most recognisable cocktail rooms in the city.

The cocktail programme rotates seasonally and is built around theatrical presentation — drinks served in custom glassware, accompanied by aromatic effects, with names that reference art and literature. The seasonal menu commits to a unifying concept and follows it through 18 to 22 drinks.

The crowd is hotel guests, mid-thirties City professionals, and travelling cocktail enthusiasts. Pair with Connaught Bar for the complete West End hotel cocktail tour.
