  Personal Concierge

One phone call handles the whole night

Our concierge team books the table, arranges the transfer, pre-orders the champagne and holds your casino lounge entry until you're ready. It's the difference between going out and being hosted.

Transfers

Chauffeured pickup anywhere on the Coast, timed to your reservation.

Occasions

Flowers, cakes and discreet celebrations arranged before you arrive.

Direct line

A named host on call for your entire booking, start to finish.

  The Cocktail Lab

Build a drink that doesn't exist yet

At the lab bench, you choose the base spirit, the botanical and the texture. Our bartenders translate your choices into a custom build, then write the recipe on a card you'll actually keep.

Step 1: pick a base: gin, rye, vodka or zero-proof
Step 2: choose a note: citrus, smoke, floral or spice
Step 3: set the texture: stirred, shaken or clarified

Your build

"The Sasha Special", probably

Last week's guest favourite: finger lime gin, smoked verjus, clarified tomato water. It shouldn't work. It does.
