Cocktails at Artesian Bar, The Langham Hotel

There’s something richly sumptuous about cocktails at the Artesian Bar in The Langham Hotel. Winter, particularly, is a good time to visit. Everything seems to sparkle a little with glamour and there are even hot toddies. But that’s not to say the luscious fruit in their cocktails aren’t every sip of summer. A recent and rather magical visit proved that to be the case, with cocktails going by the name of “Alice in Wonderland” and “Best Kept Secret”. It’s no wonder that they’re one of the best bars in the world.

Here are a selection of cocktail photos from the night:
