Alive at Five: The Bermondsey Square Hotel’s first half decade!

What: An evening of music and merriment to toast both the near future and the now. Celebrating five years of The Bermondsey Square Hotel and marking the unveiling of Bespoke’s latest venture – the spectacular Hotel Gotham in the heart of Manchester’s glitzy city centre.

Guests will be able to toast B²’s continued good health with a range of London’s finest cocktails, as well as live music from Rebecca Grant, who brings a hearty dose of swing and rhythm to the stage, alongside exclusive material written to mark the unveiling of The Hotel Gotham, which is due to open its doors in February, 2015.

Where: Cecil’s, the newly-opened late night venue just off Bermondsey Street, which sees guests whisked away from the Victorian tea warehouse façade to a unique and intimate subterranean speakeasy, styled on 1930s Hong Kong, all with an appropriately swinging live soundtrack.

Who: The Bermondsey Square Hotel, known affectionately as ‘B²’. Not only a fashionable destination for those visiting the capital, but the centrepiece of the recent regeneration of the surrounding area. A symbol of 1960s style with a freewheeling atmosphere that has seen everyone from internationally-renowned producers, to actors and even entire television production crews tread its boards.
