Artesian at Langham Hotel

It’s topped the World’s Best Bars list three years running, and remains a reference point for cocktail culture throughout the world. At the hands of Alex Kratena and Simone Caporale, the 19^th-century Langham Hotel’s bar has been transformed into the perfect marriage of flawless service and game-changing cocktails. The menu is redesigned annually with a different theme. Currently, the 18-strong “Unfolding and Exploring” menu—printed on textured Japanese paper—focuses on unusual ingredients and new experiences, with plenty of jaw-dropping presentations that can include balloons, open flames and micro-flower garnishes.
