Upon entry , however , the bar is the centre of the show . The glowing bespoke floor to ceiling bar is a mind-bending feast for the eyes , with bottles that seemingly hang in space and reflect in the emerald marble bar top .
John Turner , Director of turnerbates , says ‘ One of our key considerations was to echo the unique voice of The Alchemist in the interiors , whilst creating an individual space that is memorable and bespoke to the Royal Spa Town of Cheltenham .’
The lights are also an art installation in themselves . They wind their way through the space , bringing softness to the interiors and emitting a gold glow that highlights the warm colour palette .
The Alchemist ’ s signature bold artwork by Blackheart Creative covers one wall ( watch out for surprise movement within the artwork in the evenings ), whilst across the room the restaurant ’ s talented mixologists will reveal the secrets of their cocktails in the cosy masterclass area .
turnerbates have blended these ingredients to create a unique experience of mystery , intrigue and drama that echoes The Alchemist ’ s magical cocktails and delicious food .
Paul Mitchell , Property Director at The Alchemist , says ‘ In Cheltenham we sought to create a unique space adapted to reflect The Alchemist ’ s progressive ethos . Throughout the process turnerbates have clearly understood our brand and created a destination to enhance the elegant spa town .’
