The Connaught Hotel: Home of the BEST Martini in London

3/11/2013

If you take a trip to London you need to experience the unique creations at The Coburg Bar at The Connaught Hotel in the Mayfair area. Ask for Andras Deme who might be the best bartender in London! I say "creations" because his drinks are his unique creations. I started to order a glass of wine and Andras said "No.....you need to have my Passion Fruit Martini". I don't know what was more fun....watching him make it or drinking it.
Want to see a picture of the best Martini I've ever had? Here it is.

I said "I don't even know how to describe this" Andras says "It is a mysterious, exotic, fluffy, silky, smooth drink that keeps people guessing"......I would say that is accurate!

My friend and I fell in love with the Connaught Hotel and The Coburg Bar. Sometimes you find a spot and you don't want to leave.....that's how we felt at the Connaught. It is a five star hotel with so much history. It was built in 1897 but has recently gone through what they describe as a "delicate restoration". The hotel is stunning. I was honestly captivated by the view from the Coburg Bar which looks out into Mayfair Village. SO pretty!
 
Mark Jenner, Manager of The Coburg Bar, was fantastic as well. When I shared with him that this was our first trip to London and to The Connaught he took the time to give us some history of the hotel and told us some interesting details about the restoration and the designers.
If you are planning a trip to London I hope that you take time to at least stop in and have a Passion Fruit Martini at the Coburg and check out The Connaught.

    I travel often for business and occasionally for fun....I want to capture information about my favorite hotels, resorts, spas and restaurants  with you. I know I depend on several travel blogs for information on hotels, resorts and dining. It is nice to have first hand information from someone who has actually been there.
