London’s Newest Late Night Cocktail Den

Following their official relaunch after the lifting of lockdown regulations, the deliciously mysterious Hux Hotel on High Street Kensington are tempting you inside with a revamped cocktail menu and nightly live music.

Under wraps from the bustle of the busy street, Hux Hotel’s immersive feel has garnered a reputation for being the city’s newest experiential evening; boldly decorated and frequented by those in the know, their luxurious nine-drink menu is as varied and singular as the surroundings.

Devised and prepared by their own mixologist, the storied offering ties into each of the hotel’s resident animals, where a menagerie including a peacock, a monkey, some loved-up penguins and even a mighty giraffe are watching with beady eyes from atop the staircases and darkened corners. The artisan menu includes the Pigelou Pipe Show; smoky, rum-rich and complimented with absinth, and the Pingu & Flipper Nest; made with the finest vanilla vodka and white cacao liquor.

At once elegant and sucker-punching, live music comes from Baldo Verdu, with afro- Venezuelan and Latin American melodies for the perfect addition to Hux Hotel’s sumptuous aesthetic; warm, inviting and curious enough to keep you entertained way into the night.

Open seven nights a week. Room rates begin at £150 per night.
