DECADENCE RELOADED

Lalique crystals, mirror-panelled walls and ceiling, black and gold decor, tableside cocktail service on bespoke trolleys, and Liberace's legendary mirrored piano... Nothing screams Old World glamour like the Artists' Bar in the heart of Mayfair, London. Imagined by revered designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, this new destination venue situated in The Dorchester London is made for spritely evenings of champagne, seafood and entertainment.

True to its name, an original collection of works by Britain-based artists is proudly displayed, such as Ann Carrington's piece inspired by the Queen Elizabeth II postage stamp, and Ewan Eason's gold leaf-rendered city map of the Hyde Park district. Each iconic artwork even boasts its signature namesake cocktail.
