Petrus:
This highly acclaimed restaurant from Michelin star chef Marcus Wareing
opened at The Berkeley in September 2003. The restaurant design is by David
Collins who has incorporated colours of rich burgundy and deep claret with
intimate attention to detail, to create theatrical
environment
of consummate elegance.There is also an intimate private room and a chef's
table for guests to watch the action of the kitchen.
Boxwood:
Gordon Ramsay's Boxwood Café opened at The Berkeley in April 2003, and is
his take on the upscale New York café scene.
Los Angeles designer Barbara Barry has created a relaxing, sophisticated
environment in greens, browns and delicate tea-leaf paper.
The
Caramel Room:
The name reflects the design by New York designer Alexandra Champalimaud who
matches subtle low-lighting with chocolate coloured
wall coverings and snappy faux-crocodile fabrics, creating a sexy, discreet
ambience in which to pass the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with Illy Gourmet
Coffee and miniature doughnuts are all on the menu.
The
Blue Bar:
This small, yet perfectly formed bar was a labour of love for renowned
interior designer David Collins when he transformed a dated side-room by
period British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens into the now eponymous Blue Bar. Cherubic
friezes now look down on faux ostrich leather stools and a black crocodile-print
floor as London’s glitterati are served perfect cocktails over a
white onyx bar. Favourite cocktails in The Blue Bar are the signature
Berkeley Champagne Cocktail and the sublime Ginger Cosmopolitan.
The
Blue Bar Album:
Music has always been a key element in the Blue Bar's appeal. The cool,
atmospheric sounds have helped to generate the relaxed mood that the Blue Bar
has become known. This is the concept behind the 3 CDs of The Blue Bar
album - a selection of some of the tracks you can hear in the bar and also a
selection of some of the best music around at the moment.Ranging across
three main genres - Chilled beats, World Music & Jazz and Deep House, and
bringing together timeless tracks from each style, the mixes nclude several
tracks completely exclusive to the album as well as some less-heard gems dug for
the vaults.
