Cool Off Within the Hux Hotel’s Mysterious Cocktail and Sushi Den
With the UK officially hotter than Hawaii, what better way to relish the warm, long evenings and weekends than indulging in evocative cocktails and fragrant sushi within the bar of Kensington’s Hux Hotel?
Fully air-conditioned (when they say come and chill, they really mean it), the decadently purple entrance hall sets the scene for the fun ahead; comfortable sofas sit beneath eclectic artworks among the plethora of stuffed ravens, penguins, monkeys and the occasional giraffe, while exquisite liquid creations are served to the live beats that go on way into the night.
Revellers can indulge in artisan drinks such as the Smoked by Colonel Coke, made with cocoa butter fat washed Johnny Walker Black, Genmaika tea-infused house blend vermouths and Tonka maple syrup, or the Pout with Patrick, light with rosé wine, St Germain, Lychee liquor and Champagne. The extensive spirits and wine lists also make the perfect accompaniment to their intoxicating sushi menu, where fresh Dragon Rolls, Prawn Tempura and Salmon Avocado Springs await, away from the summer heat.
Situated in a non-descript pocket of High Street Kensington and boasting a clandestine getaway from the city bustle, the hotel brings a contemporary, enigmatic vibe to one of London’s most classic locales.
Live music comes from a collective of resident artists. Room rates begin at £150.
