From the beginning
A story that began in the summer of 2007, the first chapter for Experimental. A bar tucked away, the beginning of the cocktail renaissance in Paris inspired by New York's clandestine cocktail bars of the time. Today, the story continues across cities from London, Paris and New York, to Venice, Verbier and Val d'Isère and finally, the Cotswolds.

L'Aigle d'Or
A grand brasserie, a welcome respite to winter’s chill. A fireplace glows against wood panelled walls and woven fabrics, a nod to the mountain. A symphony of stories shared over classic Alpine dishes and seafood platters piled high. The pop of a champagne cork in the distance. A restaurant to gather well into the evening lingering tomorrow’s plans.
L'Aiglon
A journey through the Savoie, a restaurant featuring the region’s finest cheeses. A cosy meal comes to life through raclette, tartiflette and fondue. A moment shared over jewel-toned wine, a pause to reminisce about the day just gone. Dishes crafted in honour of the mountain, a celebration the French Alps in all their glory, from farm to plate.
Spa by Experimental Chalet Val d'Isère
101 Rue de la Poste, 73150 Val-d'Isère
spa@experimentalchaletvaldisere.com
An alpine sanctuary for self-care, a subterranean refuge hidden away from the snow. Treatment rooms neatly tucked away for massages, facials and rituals, alongside a sauna, hammam, cold plunge and an indoor pool. A moment of tranquillity to pause and restore sore muscles, where guests emerge with a glow.
Restaurant du Garage
A tribute to the Basque palate, where spontaneity and authenticity prevail. Lunch taken poolside, the gentle crash of waves just beyond. Dinner beneath the stars, the summer breeze a constant. Winter months tucked inside the warmth, while every Sunday, brunch is accompanied by live music.
Pool bar Cowley Manor
Cheltenham GL53 9NL, United Kingdom
+44 1242 870900
A summer well spent, beside the pool and beneath bright blue skies. Cocktails created by Experimental Cocktail Club and served beside the water, a refreshing sip between laps. A snack to savour, a moment to relax on a lounge chair at the spa. The perfect escape for sun-soaked days and golden hour vibes.

Boutique Experimental Marais
Step into the new Experimental Marais boutique, a curated enclave where Peter and May, LGR, Malgré Lui, Tres J, Cosmic Dealer, Soie Même, and Milaner reveal pieces found nowhere else. Each item carries a story, a gesture, a signature.
Nights tucked away behind hidden doors
Behind unassuming doors, the sound of cocktails behind shaken, the hum of music in the air. A menu that boasts a delicate balance of classic cocktails and Experimental twists. The night beckons.
Behind the cocktail bar
Tucked away inside, a space that mirrors each city. A design steeped in history, a tribute to what came before with a nod to New York. An evening whisked away by cocktails, be it classic, vintage or something new. A moment hidden away in New York, Paris, London and Venice. A cocktail sipped at altitude in Verbier and Val d'Isère. A drink sipped by the fire in the Cotswolds. Each place uniquely different.
