VEUVE CLICQUOT BRINGS A TROPICAL
SUMMER PARADISE TO THE DEN AT
ST MARTINS LANE HOTEL
Just in time for summer, St Martins Lane hotel will be
transforming The Den and its exclusive outdoor terrace into
a tropical jungle oasis in partnership with Veuve Clicquot’s
much-loved Yellow Label and arti-san ice cream creators Ruby
Violet. Launched on Monday 20 May, the hotel has become a
palm-filled, sunny paradise in the heart of Covent Garden.
Guests visiting the jungle haven will be greeted by The Den’s
mirrored entrance, complete with palm trees, overflowing
foliage and butterflies. A basket of summery props add to
the perfect selfie moment. The Den itself, a shaded snug and
the perfect escape from the summer heat, is filled with exotic
foliage, flurries of butterflies and cooling fans, with chilled
bottles of Veuve Clicquot ready to enjoy.
To reach the hidden terrace, guests will make their way
through a jungle walkway to the outside, where they will be
met by a secluded garden lit by hanging lights and brimming
with banana leaves and tropical flowers. Floras take centre
stage throughout, with palm plants and trees decorating and
enclosing the space as a natural haven.
For a refreshing drink, Veuve Clicquot will be served by the
glass and by the bottle, perfectly complemented by luscious
additions to The Den’s menu including Nduja Sliders with goat’s
curd and rocket, and Tuna tartare with avocado and wonton.
Ice cream from London-based artisans Ruby Violet will provide
further summer refreshment, with a freezer on the terrace
serving personal tubs of flavours such as Salted Caramel with
almond nut brittle, Matcha and Italian Lemon sorbet.
Set to be a desirable destination for all Londoners looking
for an escape this summer, St Martins Lane is delighted to be
collaborating with Veuve Clicquot and Ruby Violet to create
this hidden oasis in the centre of Covent Garden.
St Martins Lane hotel is part of The House of Originals brand,
launched in March 2019: a luxury collection of properties from
sbe featuring a bold spirit that challenges and inspires.
