BEHIND THE SCENES Amelia Hunt and Annette Kellow in the Thames Foyer for the Salon Couture High-Tea, held on the first Monday of each month. This tradition has its genesis in 1947, when French couturier Christian Dior showed his second collection at The Savoy to such acclaim that the Queen requested a private viewing. The guests are having a better time than Parr’s portrait might suggest. “I asked them not to smile,” he says.

The Savoy’s doormen help guests form their first impression of the hotel. Head doorman, Tony Cortegaca, who has worked here for 31 years, is pictured hailing a cab. “Tony has a really impressive whistle,” says Parr. “The others have to use metal whistles.” A team of doormen works around the clock dealing with queries, requests and, for certain guests, security.

AT THE HOTEL

One of London’s iconic institutions, The Savoy has been a backdrop for Marilyn Monroe, a lunch venue for Winston Churchill and a refuge for Stephen Fry. One of the most preeminent photographers of our time, Martin Parr checks in for a month in the life of the hotel

Teacups in the Gondoliers’ Private Dining Room. Up to 250 afternoon teas are served daily at £52 per head. “Afternoon tea is The Savoy’s most popular

meal,” explains Parr. “What interested me about this image was the juxtaposition between the painting and the teacups. It’s very visual.”

Chloe Keenan wears a Suzie Turner dress at the Salon Couture High-Tea while one guest looks on, another takes a photo on her phone – and Parr captures them all. He jokes: “Everyone photographs everything these days.”

Couples caper at the monthly art decostyle dinner dance as Alex Mendham & His Orchestra play songs from the 1930s. Parr, who is renowned for finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, says: “People are funny, aren’t they? This lot seem to be enjoying themselves.”

Executive chef Holger Jackisch oversees all the hotel’s food, ranging from the lavish banqueting facilities to the fresh crustaceans at Kaspar’s Seafood Bar & Grill. “It was frantic, busy and hot, as all kitchens are,” says Parr. “But they dealt with it very professionally and quickly.”

One of the 27 chefs who make pastries for afternoon tea. “The Savoy is a highly efficient machine,” says Parr. “This shows the effort that goes into everything. I haven’t had the chance to look at a hotel in such detail before. It’s a complex organisation that runs like clockwork.”

Housekeeping supervisor Romane Siddi inspects a chambermaid’s work. Siddi was born in France and moved to London two years ago. Parr says he was struck by the global character of “not just the guests, but the nationalities of the

people who work here. Although it’s a great British institution, it’s not particularly British, and is predominantly run by foreigners for foreigners. As London is such an international and cosmopolitan city, that’s absolutely right.”

Regular guest Margaret Fountain with butler, Mihai Soroia, in The Savoy Suite, which costs £6,500 per night. The view was loved by Claude Monet, who stayed in the hotel three times between 1899-1901. “The Savoy know her; they know what she likes – and she keeps returning because of it,” says Parr, who once explained that documenting the private lives of affluent subjects is second nature to him. “I’ve photographed all classes because I’m interested in depicting them all. An artist’s background should not influence the take that anyone else has.”

impressed Parr. “Lots of delicacy and pride goes into his work,” he says. Britain’s most celebrated compendia of cocktails takes its name from The Savoy. The book’s 1930

edition promises to share with readers the secret recipes for “Cocktails, Rickeys, Daisies, Slings, Shrubs, Smashes, Fizzes, Juleps, Cobblers and Fixes”.

Head butler Sean Davoren feeds Alfie, a bulldog who is allowed to stay with his owner in the hotel for an additional daily fee of £25. “I like the idea of butlers looking after dogs as well as guests,” says Parr. “The dogs even have their own menu.” Davoren has been a butler for more than 20 years, and he says Alfie is not his most challenging client. “I’ll do anything, as long as it’s legal,” he jokes. The Savoy is so huge that Parr says he feels his commission to explore it could be unending: “My work could have gone on for six months longer.” Martin Parr is the president of Magnum Photography Agency. He is currently working on a book documenting his relationship with Britain after a decade of photographing it. Visit magnumphotos.com

STAYING CENTRAL

First, Get a Room We say stay in Central London—the hotels here are the most convenient if heading both west and east, and the most iconic, like The Savoy, The Connaught, and Claridge’s, the 1856 stalwart with several suites by Diane von Furstenberg (think marble fireplaces and bold patterns) and elaborate afternoon teas, where you can sip a slightly sweet Malawi Antler brew (one of just two places on earth that serve it). This year, the center of gravity may shift east with the opening of The Ned and the Four Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity Square near Tower Bridge, but for now we love the traditional-style suites at André Balazs’s Chiltern Firehouse, with its velvetcovered armchairs and beveled mirrors. (Same goes for chef Nuno Mendes’s chipotle corn bread at the hotel restaurant.) Just off Hyde Park, the Art Deco–style Beaumont has 73 rooms that channel the early twentieth century. Over in Soho, Firmdale’s Ham Yard Hotel feels like a village with its 13 specialty shops and 190-seat fuchsiacurtained cinema.

Clockwise from top left: Trunk Clothiers, on Chiltern Street; the courtyard at Chiltern Firehouse; the French Salon at Claridge’s; a room at Chiltern Firehouse.

THE CENTRAL ESSENTIALS The Pub

Soho’s Coach & Horses pub for a London Glory ale.

The Neighborhood

Marylebone, for lunch at Carousel, shopping on Chiltern Street, and drinks at the Zetter Townhouse.

From the brilliant team behind Portland (awarded a rare five stars by the late, great A.A. Gill in 2015), the more casual Clipstone opened last summer in stillno-signs-of-stopping Fitzrovia, with house-made charcuterie and nose-totail classics like calf’s brain meunière. Meanwhile, the appetite for counter dining continues: Kiln, on Soho’s Brewer Street, has smoky Thai dishes cooked on an open flame or over charcoal in ceramic tao pots, paired with standout French and German natural wines. The Barbary, in Covent Garden, is a rowdy counter-only spot inspired by the bold, bracing flavors of North Africa’s Barbary Coast.

It's always a relief when a "concept" drinks menu actually serves quality cocktails, not just creative flourish. Hats off to the new menu at the Beaufort bar, which delivers on both counts. Although GQ felt wary when presented with the "tunnel book" menu, in which the cocktails are presented in a cutout "tunnel" encased in a pop-up book, thankfully the drinks held their own. Inspired by the Savoy's iconic guests, such as Marilyn Monroe and Fred Astaire, the "luxury" cocktails ( which are concocted upon the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former cabaret stage) each come with a prop to pay homage to their history.

Published: March Circulation: 1,200,000

GQ chose The Showgirl, which will set you back an eye-smarting ÂŁ50, and includes Dom Perignon, Grey Goose, Martini Ambrato, Chambord and rose extract. It's served with a tiny vanity mirror lit up around the exterior. Don't look in it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the lights are too bright and your pores will make you down your drink. Despite feeling like the price should make this our favourite, we actually preferred The Impressionist, which is inspired by Claude Monet. Monet once famously said, "What I love most about London is the fog", and so the cocktail (Grey Goose, raspberry, cherry, violet, Ruinart Rose Champagne), comes served with a side of fog. We won't spoil the surprise by telling you how... Arrive by seven so as not to miss the charming pianist, and make sure you order from the bar snacks menu, as they're pretty tasty and filling enough to count as dinner. We chose the fried chicken, (twice), the battered tiger prawns and the truffle potato balls. Our verdict? The Beaufort beats the Savoy's American bar for sure.

Each cocktail was created with a story of a famous celebrity behind, and you can read the little description on the menu. I particularly love the design of the menu, it’s a tunnel book, as if it is taking you through the journey of time.

Can you guess which famous person this is inspired by? The chess, the smoke, the suspension Alfred Hitchcock. And the name of this drink? ” The Master of Suspense” Having taken 10 months to create, the limited edition tunnel book menu has been elaborately and painstakingly illustrated by Shotopop. Designed in the opposite way to regular tunnel books, the cutouts get larger as guests traverse the menu, with every pageturn revealing a new design. Inspired by the eras most associated with the Savoy, the illustrations combine Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles with a truly modern and unique finish. With only 1500 made, each limited edition menu can be bought as a gift priced at £50. If you still haven’t make a visit and try out one of these 20 cocktails, or strong enough to go through all of them, I strongly suggest you make a trip to The Savoy. Being in the Beauforf Bar is pure indulgence anyway, with a drink or two in hand and some fascination of history pieces in mind? Can’t think of any better ways to spend a chilled evening.

Well I’m a massive football fan, so any great football players would be great. We have had Alex Ferguson in a few times.

(CNN) — Fancy an afternoon tea while in the British capital? There's no better place to try this English tradition than in London, which serves up some of the world's most well-regarded versions. Reputedly spawned when an English duchess made a simple request for cake and tea before dinner time in the mid-1800's, afternoon tea has since become a more decadent occasion.

The American Bar Any bartender worth their salt will have a copy of The Savoy Cocktail Book tucked among their shakers. That’s because the American Bar, which has been in The Savoy hotel since the 19th century, has long reigned as one of the most revered cocktail bars in the world. Apparently, the Queen Mother used to pop in for a gin and Dubonnet on a regular basis, and Frank Sinatra and Marlene Dietrich were known to pull up a stool at the classic mirrored bar. Settle into one of the royal blue armchairs and order from the recently revamped menu: Each section honors a different borough of London—Westminster, Camden, and Islington to name a few. Gin-based cocktail Pickering Place is an ode to a once popular dueling site, while boozy tequila drink Eternal Whisper pays tribute to the whispering gallery at St. Paul’s Cathedral. If the after-work crowds start to swell, make your way to The Savoy’s recently reno’ed—and very golden—Beaufort Bar, which sits on the hotel’s former cabaret stage, for a pricey tipple. —Lale Arikoglu

Happy Hour With… Dominic Whisson

The senior bartender of American Bar at The Savoy is in town next week to head the bar at Tippling Club. We talk to him about the classic drinks he’ll be presenting as well as his go-to libation.

By Dudi Aureus on Feb 23, 2017 On regular nights, you’ll often see Dominic Whisson in his trademark white suit, behind the bar of London’s award-winning American Bar at The Savoy, and concocting intoxicating drinks—from your usual martini to a classic Old Fashioned. But not on Tuesday (February 28). He’ll be in town to head the bar at Tippling Club, and for one night only, you’ll be treated to Savoy-renowned swigs complemented by chef Ayo Adeyemi’s five-course menu inspired by the hotel’s haute cuisine. We chat with the decorated senior bartender about working at one of the most iconic bars in the world and the cocktails he’ll be bringing to our sunny shores. How’s it like working at the one of the most iconic bars in the world? Dominic Whisson Working at the American Bar has a certain gravity. Every day poses a new challenge and an adventure, and has a story to follow.

Published: March Circulation: n/a

How will you bring the spirit of American Bar to Singapore? DW I hope to carry the atmosphere the American Bar brings with me to Singapore. I am lucky that Tippling Club’s head bartender, Joe Schofield, used to work with me behind the bar there, so I am sure he has carried a similar aesthetic with him as well. Iconic drinks to try: DW Try the Abbey Road for something light, refreshing and vibrant. If you want a pick-me-up, go for the Black Eagle, which contains scotch and cold brew coffee. Any new creations to recommend? DW We are keeping this menu strictly classic. However, if you ask me for something new I might have a drink up my sleeve. What’s your poison? DW Simplicity is the way to my heart. There is this drink called the Alaska and its beauty is in its simplicity. Simply swap out the vermouth for yellow Chartreuse in a dry martini and there you have it—my go-to libation. The spirit you always use in your drinks: DW You would normally catch me drinking spirits from light to dark. Certainly a Martini before dinner and an Old Fashioned after. Best thing about being a bartender: DW I love travelling the world and seeing the best bars, meeting the best people and being able to enjoy life doing the thing I love. Worst thing: DW I never know where to go next! The drink that reminds you most of home: DW Definitely a Bramble. It’s the first drink I made professionally while behind the bar in my first job as an adult. The person you’d want to create a cocktail for and why: DW I’d love to make a drink for Anthony Bourdain. He’s someone I look up to; I respect the journey of his career from chef to personality. He travels the world looking for the best food and I want to convince him to cover drinks as well.

THE COCKTAIL HIDEOUT By Shirley FehrRodriguez

Chic cocktail bars are the ultimate attraction in London. The cosmopolitan city counts numerous trendy hideouts, however the 125yearold American Bar located in The Savoy hotel has shown itself to be more than just trendy. From celebrities’ portraits to madetomeasure suited waiters, the piano bar buzzes with a jazz ambience. Declan http://www.navymag.com/thecocktailhideout.html

McGurk is the reigning bar manager who takes part in the magical evenings. Awarded in 2016 as Europe’s best bar, McGurk reveals the formula of his accomplishment. Following the huge success that The American Bar has had in New York and London, what's the secret of this success? It is all about the guest experience. A bar's success is totally dependent on the experience a guest receives from the moment they arrive until departure. The American Bar here in London is located inside the world known Savoy hotel, what were the factors involved in deciding to partner up? The American Bar isn't a partnership of the Savoy it is very much its beating heart. We have been in our current location since 1904 and the bar has always been a key part to the hotel. How would you describe the bar in three words? Magical, Timeless and Elegant. Now that the cocktail bar has won the award of the best bar in Europe in 2016, what are the new projects for the near future? Our main objective remains the same and that is based around the guest experience. We are in the process of currently writing a cocktail menu where we are really looking at the guests experience so that we can enhance it as much as possible. Do you think the bar could win the same title for 2017? That is not for me to decide but I shall continue to drive the bar forward in the same vein as previous years, What are the bestselling cocktails? And what are your recommendations? The best selling on the menu is Abbey Road. It is such a unique location that people feel drawn to it. I personally recommend the Pickering Place cocktail as it brings a cocktail story to life. http://www.navymag.com/thecocktailhideout.html

Where to drink

Beaufort Bar at The Savoy, Covent Garden What: If you’ve been following Squaremeal on Instagram this week, you’ll know that we had the terribly arduous task of trying the new cocktail menu at this glorious, under-the-radar bar. Every tipple tells a story inspired by The Savoy’s history. For example, this Indian-spiced Savoy Delivers cocktail (£16) represents an episode involving a forgetful Maharajah who left an important package behind. It was returned by a Savoy employee who followed him all the way to India – good customer service there. Prices are steep, but trust us: this menu is a real treat. When: Open from Monday to Saturday, 5pm until 1am Where: The Savoy, Strand, WC2R 0ET How much: Cocktails range from £16-50

COCKTAIL BULLETIN

Beaufort Bar inspired by history THE SAVOY’S Beaufort Bar in London has unveiled a tunnel cocktail menu that guides guests through some of the hotel’s historical narratives, from rooftop tap dancing to secret wartime speakeasies. Created by head bartender Kyle Wilkinson and bar manager Anne Sebastian and their team, the new menu comprises 20 cocktails, each one telling a story about a different part of the hotel through illustrations, flavours and aromas. The menu opens with Under The Stars, a cocktail inspired by Fred Astaire, who famously danced upon the roof of the hotel in the 1920s. Inspired by the wartime Tich’s Bar, which was frequented by journalists, Read All About It! combines Johnnie Walker Blue, Johnnie Walker Black, coffee, banana and paper. Also on the menu is Incognito, a blend of Patrón Añejo, popcorn, Averna, Martini Rubino and walnut, and is inspired by Katharine Hepburn, who often stayed at the hotel because of the discretion of the staff. “The Savoy is a majestic place and when writing the menu, we came across so many stories that were too good not to share,” said Wilkinson. “The team has created what I like to think of as a journey through some of the most exciting and historic events in the hotel’s history from past to the present – and the next chapter of the Beaufort Bar.” Having taken 10 months to create, the limited edition tunnel book menu has been illustrated by Shottopop, taking inspiration from art nouveau and art deco styles. Each menu can be taken home as a keepsake for £50.

Guests can enjoy delicate sandwiches filled traditional, well-paired favourites such as Coronation Chicken; Maldon smoked salmon with cream cheese and lemon; and Egg mayonnaise. As well as freshly baked scones from the pastry kitchen, served with clotted cream, lemon curd and homemade strawberry jam. Inspired by Japanese sculpture and installation artist Yayoi Kusama’s most recent exhibition at London’s Victoria Miro galleries - that encompassed three mirrored rooms and plenty of pumpkins - is a milk chocolate mousse, passion fruit crémeux and chocolate feuillantine, set on a chocolate sable biscuit and encased with a vibrant yellow glaze. American sculptor Alexander Calder, renowned for his innovative approach to art by using wire and industrial materials to craft ‘drawings in space’, is the inspiration for a delicate but impressive sculpture that combines the flavours and colours of pistachio and cherry. The beautifully presented cake is glazed with red chocolate, reminiscent of Calder’s famed mobiles. British-born Banksy’s iconic ‘Girl With a Balloon’ - arguably one of his most famous artworks - has provided the inspiration for a delicate white chocolate cube filled with a light vanilla cream choux, cherry jelly, hazelnut caramel and chocolate crémeux, garnished with an intricate

and tiny replica of the enigmatic artwork itself. Inspired by Damien Hirst’s instantly recognisable series of pharmaceutical-style series of spot paintings is a white chocolate tart flavoured with cassis jelly and yuzu curd, and finished with Hirst-style regimented and decorative pop-art coloured spots of gel. Last but by no means least, abstract impressionist artist Mark Rothko’s bold use of colour has provided the inspiration for a delectable layered coconut and raspberry sponge, filled with coconut mousse, fresh raspberries and adorned with bright pink raspberry chocolate. The Mirror Room alone is impressive in its own right. With ambient lighting and jewel-like features, the room also displays an array of extraordinary 3D artworks by Simon Bingle, illustrating the relentless development of the city of London, during the special tea. Rosewood London has long established itself as a leading exhibitor of an exceptional array of contemporary artists and is the leading hotel partner of Frieze London, the world’s leading contemporary art fair and one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists. The art-inspired afternoon tea is priced at £50 per person (£65 per person with a glass of “R” de Ruinart Champagne or £67 per person with a glass of “R” de Ruinart Rosé Champagne).

An Interview With The American Bar’s Dominic Whisson

We Caught Up With The American Bar's Senior Bartender Ahead Of His OneNight Takeover At Singapore's Tippling Club on Feb 28. Print

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter To be a bartender at the American Bar in London’s Savoy Hotel is to be a part of history. Having played a key role in popularising the cocktail scene during the early 1900s when Ada Coleman and Harry Craddock were head bartenders, the American Bar continues to set new standards in today’s cocktail scene, as it proved when it was named Best Bar in Europe (and second in the world) at World's 50 Best Bars 2016, and winner of the Best International Bar Team 2016 at Tales of the Cocktail festival. Senior bartender Dominic Whisson has been a part of that award-winning team since 2013, and now works under the guidance of the bar’s 11th head bartender, Erik Lorincz. “Every time I came in I was blown away by the service I was given and the quality of the drinks, and the room,” Whisson said in an interview with Difford’s Guide. “There's so many regulars, and about ten tables waving, smiling, how are you... There are guests who have been coming in 30 years and then regular guests: there's nothing more satisfying than a regular guest that comes back.” We had the chance to get a hold of Whisson for a quick interview before arrives at Singapore’s Tippling Club for Once Upon A Time At The Savoy, a one-night only takeover session on Feb 28 that will see Whisson creating classic and new cocktails, complemented by Chef Ayo Adeyemi’s modern interpretations of classic Escoffier dishes. How did you start your journey as a bartender, and ended up at the American Bar?

Published: March Circulation: 13,700,000

I was born into the food and drink industry. My parents owned a restaurant in my home town of Whitby in the north east of the UK. All of my earliest memories revolve around that restaurant and it now feels inevitable that I would end up doing something in this industry. What qualities did you possess that set you apart from the rest in landing a place there? Getting a job at the American Bar certainly doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel easy. There are online personality tests, as well as an interview with the managing director of the hotel. The hotel always describes itself as hiring on personality above all else. What do you think are the qualities that distinguish between a good bartender and a great one? The greatest bartenders on the planet all have one thing in common, and that is service. I go to many bars, but the only thing that keeps me going back is the service I receive. What do you think is the next step forward in the craft cocktail scene in the coming year? I think the next trend will be a focus on sustainability within the process. There are many biodynamic and organic alcoholic products out there, and I think the use of these is certainly going to increase in the next year. What sets the Southeast Asian bar scene apart from the English or American craft cocktail bars? I have to say the hospitality I have received in Southeast Asia is amongst the best I have ever experienced. I really like the aspect of the locally sourced ingredients and use of native flavours in cocktail production.

Aside from your own bar,where do you like to have a drinkâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;and what drink would that be? In London, you would probably find me drinking a Negroni in Bar Termini. In New York, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always at either PDT or Attaboy, drinking whatever they want to make for me. Can you tell us about the drinks you'll be making during Once Upon A Time At The Savoy? For the drinks on the night I have taken a small selection of drinks from our current London menu. The thought process behind them was massively inspired by the respective areas the drinks represent. We found links with all of the areas to particular flavours and ingredients and it was simply a matter of making them work in a cocktail.

1995

Most teenagers are besotted with rebellious rock stars or cinematic love gods. But I was obsessed with a much more exotic, rare, enigmatic and entertaining species: the Milligan. At 16, I was madly in love with Spike. I knew all his poetry, books and songs by heart. When I heard that he was performing a one-man show at the Adelaide Festival of Arts, I ran away from school to follow him. Despite Australia’s past as the crème de la crim, we attend more cultural events and read more books per capita than any other country, and soon I was plucking my highbrows and devouring everything from Beowulf to Aboriginal songlines. To finance show tickets, my girlfriend and I had started busking on street corners. Much to our amazement, our act was snapped up by the Adelaide Fringe. The fringe benefit, thanks to Adelaide’s warm welcome and Spike’s kind encouragement, was that I decided to become a writer.

I’m partial to a resort so exclusive that not even the tide can get in. The downside is the fashionable flotsam and jet set that washes up. Lying on the beach, I planned to snub all pretentious guests and dive headfirst into my books. But Mother Nature had other plans. The first sign of the hurricane was when my “catch of the day” took on a literal meaning and blew off the plate. As I fled back to my bungalow, the trees waved drunkenly, their heads bent at crazy angles. At 2am, the thud of a tree crashing through the roof cleaved my cranium like an axe. Soon, guests were evacuated to a hurricane shelter. As storms battered the bunker, a warm camaraderie ensued. People I’d dismissed as dull raised my spirits with hearty renditions of Kumbaya. When a blue day finally dawned, I hugged my new friends and wondered why it takes the worst to bring out the best in human beings.

LONDON

When I first moved to Blighty in 1988, I needed emotional thermals to survive the social frostbite. But if London didn’t immediately warm to me, I quickly warmed to London. Billiard-baize-green fields buttered golden with daffodils; black cabs bobbing along like motorised bowler hats; fairy lights flickering on the inky Thames from the Houses of Parliament to Shakespeare’s Globe. And the city haemorrhages history, with ghosts in every nook and crenellated cranny. (The best thing about being photographed in front of historic monuments is that it makes a girl look so much younger!) In 2003, I finally felt accepted when The Savoy appointed me its writer-inresidence. My Art Deco suite was so sumptuous, I never got up before the crack of noon. Would you, when you’re served breakfast in bed by boys in crisp white jackets? I’m now happy to call London my second home.

Last week Barr, who wrote the memoir Maggie & Me, sent a Facebook post criticising Rachel Cusk, alleging that he had inspired a character in her most recent book, Transit. Barr did not wish to comment at the time but there is still clearly no love lost. Last night, while telling guests about the resident bibliotherapist Ella Berthoud, he said: “Ella takes your problems and solves them by prescribing you fiction. It’s not as mad as it sounds.
