The Experience

Step into our sophisticated drinking den—a love letter to timeless glamour and good times. The Donovan Bar embodies the vision of Maestro Salvatore Calabrese, inventor of the iconic Breakfast Martini and Guinness World Record holder for crafting the world's most expensive cocktail. 

Director of Mixology

Federico Pavan

OUR SECRET

The Naughty Corner

OUR TREAT

Salvatore's Legacy

In 2012, Salvatore Calabrese set a Guinness World Record with the £5,500 “Salvatore’s Legacy.” Made with 18th- and 19th-century spirits, it’s history in a glass.
