Pick of the mix How to order or make the ultimate timeless cocktail Ï You don’t get much more classic than a martini. The marker of a good barman, it may not contain many ingredients but it lays down a gauntlet in terms of execution. And it’s a terminological minefield to order, even before you’ve got into the maths: tell us, what’s your ratio? “The beauty of it is the whole ceremony,” says Erik Lorincz, head bartender at The Savoy’s awardwinning American Bar. “It’s all in the preparation. I fell in love with the martini when I went to Japan. That’s quite surprising, right? But there they’re known for caring about tiny little details and ritual. That’s so important for a martini — you can mess it up so badly!” Lorincz helps us decode the lingo so that you can order one with your suavity intact.

The Savoy Launches Temptation Wheel BY KAYE HOLLAND | LATEST LONDON NEWS, NEWS | SEPTEMBER 27, 2015

A magnificent glass domed atrium at the heart of The Savoy, The Thames Foyer – famed for its afternoon tea – is launching an exquisite and theatrical Temptation Wheel of gourmet chocolates, indulgent desserts and hand­ crafted cocktails on 1 October. Presented on a beautiful lit up mahogany spinning wheel, the menu is divided into a painter’s palette of flavours. From light and fresh, to rich and indulgent, each dessert has been carefully matched with a hand­ made chocolate and uniquely blended cocktail. The Temptation Wheel offers guidance, but guests are also encouraged to pick the right combination to suit their mood, taste and preference.

Brought to the table on a specially commissioned domed bell cart created by Inkorporate, the desserts have a visual and theatrical element to add to the layered experience.

London’s bartenders shake up the world Lizzie Edmonds

THE TOP 10

LONDON cocktail bar Artesian has been named the best in the world for an unprecedented fourth year in a row — and another four bars in the capital have made the top 10. Old Street’s Nightjar came in at No 3 in the World’s 50 Best Bars Awards, just behind New York’s Dead Rabbit, with The American Bar at the Savoy, Happiness Forgets in Hoxton and the Connaught Bar at the Connaught Hotel all also named in the top 10 at a ceremony in Spitalfields last night. Alex Kratena, 34, and Simone Caporale, 28, are head bartenders at the Artesian at the Langham Hotel. Mr Kratena said: “It is always nice to win awards like this that have so much recognition in the industry. But for us, the public are the real critics. They are the ones we work so hard to impress and to wow every day.” Hoxton’s White Lyan, Beaufort Bar on the Strand, 69 Colebrooke Row in

Edmund Weil, co-owner of Nightjar, said: “It is excruciating when they count down the winners from 50 to one. For once, you don’t want your name to be called. It is good to be up there.” Erik Lorenz, 35, former winner of the Diageo World Class Competition and head bartender at The Savoy’s American Bar, added: “It is good for us to continue to be in the top 10 bars. It means we are on the pace.” The list is compiled by Drinks International.

The Savoy American Bar And Beaufort Bar In The World’s Top 50 Bars BY KAYE HOLLAND | LATEST LONDON NEWS, NEWS | OCTOBER 9, 2015

The World’s 50 Best Bars award winners were announced last night and London’s legendary The Savoy has been included twice with the American Bar at number 5, and the Beaufort Bar at number 27, making the hotel the only establishment to have two entries on the list. This a fantastic achievement for The Savoy, the American Bar and especially the Beaufort Bar – who are back in the top 50 after a two year break. During this time Head Bartender Chris Moore and his fantastic team have launched a highly creative pop­up cocktail menu to great success and this summer saw the bar win Best International Hotel Bar at Tales of the Cocktail.

“We are really excited to be back in the Best 50 Bars after 2 years, especially amongst such an array of amazing bars and talented teams of people around the world, who represent what a fantastic industry hospitality is,” said Anna Sebastian, Beaufort Bar Manager. “With the American Bar who came fifth in the world, The Savoy continues to be recognised as one of the leading places in the world, and to be able to be a small part of that is a great honour for us all.” Meanwhile at number 5, the American Bar makes The World’s 50 Best Bars list for the fifth time in a row, having been included every single year following its reopening in 2010. During that time only once has it been outside of the top 10, and has now made The World’s 50 Best Bar’s alltime achievers’ list. The American Bar may be the oldest cocktail bar in England, and one of the most iconic in the world, but its continuous success and reinvention shows that the bar is still very much at the forefront of the hospitality industry.

SERVICE SPOTLIGHT

Best of

British

WHAT DOES BRITISH HOSPITALITY MEAN TO TODAY’S CONSUMER AND HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM THAT EXPERIENCED AROUND THE WORLD? WE ASKED SOME OF THE UK’S LEADING HOTEL PROFESSIONALS, ALL SPEAKING AT IHS15, THEIR VIEWS ON WHAT MAKES BRITISH SERVICE STAND OUT FROM THE REST.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE BRITISH SERVICE - WHAT MAKES IT STAND OUT AND MAKES IT DIFFERENT?

THE EXPERTS

JONATHAN RAGGETT Managing director at Red Carnation Hotels & chairman of Master Innholders

PETER HANCOCK Chief executive, Pride of Britain Hotels

HOWARD HARTLEY Director of Middle East and diplomatic sales, Grosvenor House

JUSTIN SALISBURY Owner, Artist Residence

Jonathan Raggett: At Red Carnation Hotels service is all about being on the side of the guest and making them feel good. Service is about genuine hospitality, not being fake or made up. Howard Hartley: In the past it would be fair to say that the hospitality industry was not seen as a profession and more of a passing trade by the average British person and we relied heavily on the European associates to fill the hospitality roles. My first job as a waiter was in a small Italian restaurant in Buckinghamshire and the manager was English but all the guests believed he was Italian and usually he believed it as well! Now attitudes have changed and in the past 20 years we have adopted a more professional attitude to service. The service offered is honest, discreet and more private. Jules Pearson: Staff are more attentive and willing to get things done - they think outside the box and even if things don’t fall under their roles they just get on with the tasks in hand. That’s certainly what we experience at The Hox. Peter Hancock: I’m not sure that ‘British service’ is so very different from service in other countries - we have both good and bad. Obviously we all know the stories

Michael Bierut The graphic artist who shattered Saks Fifth Avenue’s fusty logo talks memorable hotels, Wile E. Coyote and the best typeface for resumes “FORTY YEARS AGO, graphic arts were a form of black magic—only a handful of people even knew the names of typefaces,” said Michael Bierut, a partner in the New York office of the international design consultancy Pentagram, who has crafted visual identities for clients as diverse as Saks Fifth Avenue and Manhattan’s Museum of Sex. Today, when any 10-year-old with a computer can design custom letterhead, Mr. Bierut said, “if Google changes its logo, everyone is expected to have an opinion about it.” As much admired for his design punditry as for his packaging of Billboard magazine, Mohawk Paper and the New York Jets, Mr. Bierut this year entered the political fray with a bold social-media-savvy design for Hillary Clinton: a blue H pierced by a red arrow. “Every act of visual communication, back to cave paintings, is designed to convey a message,” said the 58-year-old, whose new monograph, “How to Use Graphic Design to Sell Things, Explain Things, Make Things Look Better, Make People Laugh, Make People Cry, and (Every Once in a While) Change the World” (Harper Design) was recently published. “Graphic design is the whole series of decisions that get made to shape that message.” In a recent chat, the Westchester, N.Y., resident, who also serves as a senior critic in graphic design at the Yale School of Art, parsed the elements of good business stationery, a dress-to-impress wardrobe and the epicurean perfection that is Fudgie the Whale.

It’s offical: London is the best in the world MIX IT UP Philip Salter

@philip_salter

The best bar in the world is London’s Artesian. At least, it is according to the authoritative annual World’s Best Bar Awards. (Or, more precisely, the drink industry supremos that make up the award’s academy.) But I look on bars as a parent looks upon their offspring; I can’t pick favourites. So here are an introduction to the London bars owning the top 10 positions, and my thoughts on how they’ve managed to reach such giddy heights. 1. Artesian The Artesian at The Langham Hotel was once again voted the best bar in the world. The theatre and spectacle of their surrealist-inspired cocktail list guaranteed them a top 10 spot – but it’s head bartenders Alex Kratena and Simone Caporale’s warm hospitality that ensures they’ve remain at the top for the fourth year running. It’s a destination bar, so put aside the time (and money) for a few cocktails and really soak it all in. 2. Nightjar Nightjar is faultless. Its décor and live jazz transport you to a speakeasy of the 1920s. But instead of ducking to hide from Lucky Luciano’s hitmen, you’ll be escaping the mean streets of Shoreditch – whether these be cereal hatin’ protestors or the swelling number of mindless yobs out on the lash. The cocktail list is extensive, with close to 50 available, all made with a verve and imagination to rival F. Scott Fitzgerald.

5. American Bar The American Bar at the Savoy is an institution. It was the first proper bar I visited in London, and despite my ill-fitting suit and general awkwardness they couldn’t have made me feel more at home. It’s the perfect place to show off the luxurious and understated brilliance of London to outsiders. Soak up the history and take a sip on bartending at its finest. 8. Happiness Forgets Happiness Forgets is a bar after my own heart. I probably recommend this place more than any other, and have not – and will not – hear a bad word against the place. If you happen to live around Stoke Newington also check out Original Sin, its sister bar on the High Street. 9. Connaught Bar The Connaught Bar is an Art Deco masterpiece inside, but it’s the modern mastery of bartender Ago Perron that draws in the crowds these days. I’ve found myself at the Connaught twice in as many weeks and both times were a delight. Its new menu takes inspiration from the best cocktails invented in hotel bars around the world, which is testament to both their modesty and confidence. Outside the top 10, London can also boast Ryan Chetiyawardana’s innovative White Lyan in Hoxton at 26 and the gorgeous, Tom Dixondesigned Dandelyan bar in the newly opened Mondrian Hotel at 50. Beaufort Bar – the Savoy’s lesserknown cocktail bar – takes 27. And Tony Conigliaro’s superlative 69 Colebrooke Row in Islington comes in at 41. London is arguably (particularly arguable if you’re a New Yorker) the best place in the world for cocktails. If you’ve not yet been to any of this year’s top 50, you’ve got a lot of potential pleasure in the bank.

City of London raises £600,000 for children’s Charity 16th October 2015

This week, some of the City’s leading figures at The October Club’s 28th annual fundraising dinner at the Savoy, raised a record breaking £600,000 for the Honeypot Children’s Charity to build a respite centre which will provide support for children who have primary caring responsibilities for a loved one. The October Club was founded in 1987 when a group of City workers, moved by the plight of Leukaemia sufferers, decided to hold a fundraising dinner. Since then, the Club has held annual dinners and raised over £10 million in support of a number of charities over the past few years, including kick­starting ground breaking research, raising much needed awareness and enabling brave expansion plans. At this year’s event, over four hundred City professionals spent the evening raising money to fund a transformational project: a new respite centre for Honeypot, a charity which offers both respite breaks and outreach support to young carers and vulnerable children, many of whom would otherwise have nowhere to turn. These generous donations will enable thousands of young carers to have respite from the responsibilities they face at home.

“Here at The Savoy, we were looking for a hand and nail product partner for Beauty & Fitness that could imitate the hotel in terms of product quality and attention to detail,” comments Kelly-Marie Rimmer, manager of the Beauty & Fitness Spa. “When we were offered the opportunity to work exclusively with Cuccio and its superb range of products from Cuccio Colour Veneer to heel treatments, it was the ‘go to’ brand for us and a natural fit.” Cuccio’s national salon sales manager, Liz Richards, adds: “After meeting with Kelly-Marie Rimmer to put together the right products and training we were excited to be chosen as the hand and foot care partner for The Savoy.”

London is home to some of the best hotels in the world, from The Savoy and The Ritz to Claridges and The Dorchester. But according to Trip Advisor, all of these world famous establishments pale in comparison next to a tiny boutique hotel that has just 28 rooms. The 41 Hotel, which is situated just a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace, has been holding the No.1 spot on the travel review site for the best part of nine years.

Ladies’ rail trek TWO friends who took a day trip to London to celebrate their 90th birthdays ended up 200 miles away. Mollie Muetzel and Kathleen Lowndes had enjoyed afternoon tea at the Savoy Hotel. But the pair from Knebworth, Herts, 30 minutes away, took the wrong train home, a non-stop service to York. Kathleen said: “There was nothing we could do but sit back and relax. It was lovely that they didn’t charge us for the journey.”

IN BRIEF 90-yr-old pals take a 400-mile detour TWO friends who took a day trip to London to celebrate their 90th birthdays ended up on a 400-mile detour after getting on the wrong train. After tea at the Savoy, Mollie Muetzel and Kathleen Lowndes took a Virgin East Coast fast train to York rather than the 30-minute service to Knebworth, Hertfordshire. They were pampered by staff on the 200-mile trip and then escorted to a Stevenagebound train. They finally got home at 10pm, after a fourhour adventure.

Two lifelong friends who took a daytrip to London to celebrate their upcoming 90th birthdays ended up 200 miles from home ­ when they got on the wrong train back. Mollie Muetzel and Kathleen Lowndes had enjoyed afternoon tea at the Savoy Hotel when they mistakenly boarded the wrong rush hour train at Kings Cross. Instead of heading for Knebworth, Hertfordshire ­ just a 30­minute journey away ­ they got on a non­ stop fast service to York.

Mollie, 89, said: 'We went past four or five long carriages, all first­class, before eventually getting on. 'Two young chaps gave up their seats and then soon after the train had departed I heard mention of York.' The conductor told them he was unable to stop ­ but managed to keep the pair supplied with free teas and cake to make their northbound journey as comfortable as possible.

THE SHIFT

NO.5 THE TEA TASTER Nick Gandon can drink up to 300 cups of tea a day, tasting 50 to 75 different types every hour for clients such as The Savoy, Hotel Chocolat and The National Trust. “You slurp it around your mouth so it mixes with the oxygen in the air, and then spit it out,” he says. After working in the tea industry for almost 20 years, he is normally able to assess the flavour of the brew within two or three seconds. But learning to taste tea professionally is not something that can be taught easily. The tea broker learnt the trade from experts in Calcutta, where he would taste 600 cups a day. “The man who taught me used to say it’s a process of osmosis. Nobody can tell you how to do it – and without sounding too ‘treehuggery’, it kind of becomes part of what you are.” Now he says identifying a good tea is as easy as driving a car. “Just like when you change gear or indicate, you know where everything is. It becomes a natural process.” While it’s hard to articulate exactly what makes a good brew, Gandon knows when he tastes a disgusting cup, which is about once a day. “It could be something that’s musty and had water on it, it could be a taint from the ovens, or it might be too highly fired giving it a chocolatey flavour.” Gandon fell into his line of work by accident after taking a holiday job when he was 17 to sweep the floors at tea brokers Reginald Ames in Kent. He is now managing director of the business, which imports and exports around 300 tonnes of high-quality tea a year. His most discerning clientele are the Japanese, who are prepared to pay thousands of pounds per kilogram for Chinese pu-erh tea. Despite his job, Gandon still

likes to drink two or three cups of tea a day. After sampling Darjeeling Oolongs, Taiwanese Pouchongs and Chinese Tieguanyins, he prefers a “bog standard couple of tea bags in a mug, nice and strong with some milk – you can’t beat it.”

“I only drink champagne on two occasions. When I am in love and when I am not,” said Coco Chanel. Probably because she didn’t know the future would bring a whole week in London dedicated to just Champagne. Things are getting haute from October 1st-7th, as the UK pauses for National Champagne Week. With so much bubbly about, we found out the best haute spot to sip at. The Beaufort Bar at The Savoy is the ultimate destination for this bubbly libation. They boast one of the most extensive choices of champagne by the glass and by the bottle, including rare vintages from Louis Roederer and Cristal. The champagne list has been carefully curated and will take you on a journey from ‘The Classics,’ which list the more traditional and well-known Champagne houses to ‘ The Unique,’ which introduce boutique grower, Champagnes. The Glorious’ notes some of the most famous Grand Crus and ’The Giants’ show you some well-known Champagnes in larger formats. Enough about the bubbly; that’s for drinking, not reading about. The Beaufort Bar itself is world famous for its elaborate theatrical and art deco settings. It’s chic and unique, giving a classically cool vibe for you to enjoy some tipsy times. If you’re all about Champagne, cocktails and cabaret this is the spot for you. This year, the haute venue won Best International Hotel Bar at the famed festival Tales of the Cocktail. For cocktail aficionados, the Beaufort Bar released its menu secrets in the form of a limited edition pop-up book. It is beautifully hand-drawn and painstakingly cut. The pages throw open a heady world of characters, flavors, tales and scents, ensuring each exquisitely crafted cocktail tells its own story. Beginning with light spirits, florals and zesty citrus, the menu then touches on fruit based spirits and sweet ingredients before finishing with dark spirits, spicy notes and rich flavors. One of the most beautiful cocktails on the menu is the Impressionist – which is inspired by Monet and served with a smoking rose.

In thePhoto 1920sby andGreg ’30s,Vore hotel bartenders were inventing what at the time seemed like out there concoctions (the martini, the Bloody Mary) that have since become our go to salvation. To commemorate these signature drinks, hotels like the Savoy in London and the Waldorf Astoria in New York started printing limited edition runs of their various recipes. Avid collector Luke Ives Pontifell, founder of the bespoke New York stationer Thornwillow Press, let us shoot a few of his favorites, including volumes of punches and fizzes from the nineteenth century, Czech manuals for distilling eau devie, and iconic Jazz Age classics such as Wiley and Griffith’s The Art of Mixing. “I travel constantly for work, and you never know where they’ll turn up,” says Pontifell. “I bought The Savoy Cocktail Book in London and The Stork Club Bar Book in a barn in the Berkshires. I’ve found great ones in the bookstalls of Hamburg and London and rummaging in secondhand bins from Paris to Prague.”
