The coolest bar in London?
There is a theory in corporate hospitality that the right setting can do more for a team than any agenda. Soon, you will be able to test it for yourself – in a room made entirely of ice, carved from the Torne River in northern Sweden, in the heart of central London. ICEBAR by ICEHOTEL is opening steps away from Leicester Square and Covent Garden, and everything inside – the walls, the art, the glass in your hand – comes straight from northern Sweden.
