PRESS RELEASE

THE POLO BAR at The Westbury Mayfair, a Luxury Collection hotel, London, launches five floral cocktails for RHS Chelsea Flower Show, 20th – 25th May 2019....

The Polo Bar at The Westbury Mayfair, a Luxury Collection hotel, London, has teamed up with Moët & Chandon to celebrate the start of the summer season with the capital’s much anticipated RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

As garden design enthusiasts prepare to showcase their beautiful works of art for RHS Chelsea Flower Show, in much the same way as they did back in 1862 when the first Great Spring Show started, our Polo Bar mixologists are at work. Elaborating new floral combinations with the iconic champagne house Moët & Chandon, they are crafting concoctions reminiscent of the tones of the moonlight and the theme of this year's show: “Under The Sea.” Notes in the cocktails will have botanical references to wild gardens, raspberries, roses and blossoms, and will be matched to the Executive Chef’s heavenly crafted canapés.

The Polo Bar will also mark RHS Chelsea Flower Show with a beautiful blossoming doorway, and will offer a choice of 5 Floral Cocktails from 20th - 25th May 2019.

The Westbury Mayfair has a long and established pedigree as the first American-owned five-star hotel in London. The very first Westbury was opened in 1927 in New York City by the polo playing Phipps family, and later in 1955 The Westbury London was opened, becoming the first luxury American hotel in London and one of the finest hotels in Mayfair. Now it is part of the Marriott International group and an esteemed member of The Luxury Collection hotels. In 1999, Cola Holdings acquired The Westbury Mayfair and set in motion some radical changes, which are still in full swing for 2019 and 2020.

Since the day it opened, The Westbury Mayfair instantly became a hub of interest, and a go-to for its international clientele, who have been coming back to the hotel for two or three family generations, enjoying the home they have grown to know over the years. Its location is renowned for being in the heart of fashion, finance and foreign relations, and it attracts numerous celebrities and heads of state, all of which form part of the rich heritage of the building.
