Great Cocktails and Engaging Local Tours at London's One Aldwych Hotel

Guests staying at One Aldwych hotel this summer are offered a program of exciting free experiences, from private Covent Garden walks to virtual reality cocktail demonstrations.

These Summer Urban Resort activities are ideal for those craving insider knowledge from experts while enjoying the comforts of London’s leading contemporary luxury hotel.

The Summer Urban Resort program runs July 22 to Sept. 30 and is sure to thrill, entertain and enrich – all at no extra cost. The experiences include a cocktail and canape reception every Thursday, a Spanish wine tasting in Eneko Basque Kitchen & Bar on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and a VR cocktail demonstration on Sundays and Mondays.

A highlight of the Summer Urban Retreat is a complimentary, one-and-a-half hour walking tour of Covent Garden (bespoke for One Aldwych guests only), led every Saturday by a Blue Badge Tourist Guide. From the neighbourhood’s aristocratic origins in the 17th century to its current revival with smart boutiques, vibrant restaurants and secret gardens, this unforgettable “then and now” perspective of Covent Garden is laced with historic anecdotes and good humour.

Lovers of inventive, classic-with-a-twist cocktails will be interested in the Summer Urban Retreat drinks demonstrations. The hotel’s award-winning mixologist, Pedro Paulo, will offer a dazzling Cocktail Masterclass in the Lobby Bar, showcasing the Old-Fashioned Cocktail Trolley and also a sampling of The Origin, the world’s first VR cocktail experience.

London, recently named the “world’s best destination” in the Travellers’ Choice Awards, is the place to be this year. With One Aldwych’s Summer Urban Resort experiences, guests will be ensured a stay of substance with style.
