As London prepares for the Coronation of King Charles III, Leicester Square’s The Londoner is adorning the entrance of the hotel with an impressive floral bench installation and inviting guests inside to raise a toast to the King at its pop-up martini bar in The Stage. A specialty room package also allows visitors from further afield to soak up the atmosphere and includes an exclusive royal walking tour. The martini bar and room package will be available from Thursday, April 20 until Thursday, May 18.
The hotel will be transforming The Stage into a pop-up Martini bar, in honor of the new King’s favorite tipple. Three iterations of the martini will be on the menu, including His Majesty—giving guests a chance to raise their coupes to His Majesty King Charles III with a take on his favorite pre-dinner cocktail, the classic Martini. The cocktail has been updated with flavors befitting a Royal of the highest stature, such as Belvedere vodka, Noilly Prat Dry and Veuve Clicquot. Also available is Le Français, inspired by the iconic French Martini. Originally created in the 1980s, the cocktail has been brought back to life using The Londoner’s signature Champagne and tea twist, resulting in a delicate and refreshing variation. Last but certainly not least is the Homage, a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, and a creative concoction of her favorite drink, Gin & Dubonnet, and a Martinez—widely believed to be the precursor of the Martini.
Guests can also enjoy a plate of Two Fine de Claire oysters with lemon crème fraiche and green tabasco dill oil alongside their Martinis.
Guests can stay at The Londoner with the "Royal Coronation Experience" room package, and take a day to follow in the footsteps of royalty with the Royal Coronation Tour. Complete with all the pomp, pageantry and splendor, guests can conduct the route of the Royal Coronation procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace and enjoy all the iconic landmarks the capital is known for. After a day of tracing tradition, The Londoner invites guests to indulge like a royal for an evening with the King’s favorite tipple, a Martini, complemented with exquisite Fine de Claire Oysters.
