November 2017 will see the opening of the highly anticipated The Coral Room – set in the heart of Bloomsbury, the grand salon bar will reflect an exquisite country house transported to the city, with a secluded cigar terrace and stylish inimitable cocktail list.
The vibrant new bar inspired by a ‘country-meets-city’ concept, evokes the collaborative Martin Brudnizki interior design. Housed within The Bloomsbury hotel – a Sir Edwin Lutyens, Grade-II listed building on Great Russell Street in London – the distinctive coral coloured walls, five beautiful bespoke Murano glass chandeliers and stunning fused glass and marble topped bar mirrors the buildings iconic heritage. What’s more, acclaimed British illustrator Luke Edward Hall has created 36 bespoke pieces of original art to line the coral walls inspired by the ever-evolving Bloomsbury area.
In contrast, the traditional panelling, natural materials and roaring open fire will allow guests to be transported to a relaxing country escape without leaving the city. The Coral Garden – a stylish secluded cigar terrace – will be adorned with a cosy canopy of green foliage and filled with an array of trees creating the perfect hidden alfresco drinking spot.
The Coral Room, overseen by General Manager Giovanni Spezziga – formerly of Scarfes Bar at the Rosewood London – will offer an extensive English sparkling wine list with an emphasis on local vineyards, alongside a comprehensive selection of highball and spritz-style cocktails with names that reflect the culture of both the countryside and the city. Spezziga comments: “I’m delighted and proud to be part of the team at The Bloomsbury, and look forward to putting The Coral Room firmly on the London map.”
