About this space

Artesian is a hotel cocktail bar defined by contemporary oriental-inspired interiors and finishing details.

Design
The interior pairs carved wooden backbars and oversized lantern-style chandeliers with pale moulded walls and high ceilings. Tall windows, mirrored shelving, patterned carpet and deep-coloured leather seating add layered visual detail.

Features
A long, marble-fronted central bar serves as the main service point and is staffed by an in-house mixology team. Multiple intimate seating clusters of low sofas and small round tables support full table service, and a kitchen supplies food that can be served at the bar. A full cocktail and mocktail menu, wine and spirits list, complimentary water refills and a reservations system that accepts credit-card authorisation are available.

Ideal for
Small social and professional groups seeking a drink-led seated or standing reception in an intimate, refined lounge.

What sets it apart
A theatrical house signature punch, presented from the central bar, anchors the venue's cocktail programme.

What guests say
The bar delivers attentive, detail-focused service and consistently inventive cocktails. The space presents a warm hotel-lounge atmosphere.
