This property’s new gin bar channels the classic gin and tonics of colonial East Africa. The cocktail was a favorite and believed to help ward off malaria (hey, if it’s for health’s sake, you might as well have another). The gin bar offers 16 varieties of craft gin and other ingredients are sourced from the property’s organic vegetable garden.
This hotel was the site of the invention of the Bellini, Venice’s signature cocktail. The delicious peach juice and Prosecco concoction was created by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of the hotel. Make your own at the on-site bar, or just kick back and relax and ask the veteran bartender to make one for you.
