Desperate for your party-girl getaway? Craving a break from the grind? You don’t need the Balearics to answer your prayers: The Hoxton Southwark is your answer.
There is nothing quite like a summer holiday, that’s a fact, but what if you could get an Ibiza fix without a passport or a five-hour wait at Heathrow? Well, maybe there’s an answer closer than you think. South London wouldn’t be your first choice for a Mediterranean hit, but that’s about to change, as The Hoxton Southwark opens its doors to Casa Seabird: London’s new go-to rooftop escape spot perched atop the hotel’s 14th floor.
When guests enter the Balearic-inspired walls, they’ll be greeted by a bohemian interior and a luxurious DJ booth, carved out of delicate, white-washed timber. Above everything, it’s the terrace that will take your breath away, with an abundance of tropical plants illuminating London’s beautiful views. Casa Seabird is laced with as much of Ibiza’s fabulous utopia as possible: a tasteful concoction of island foliage and some of the best DJs to dance all night long to. Centred around its Mediterranean-evoking menu, they’re whipping up a delicious wonderland that takes you far away from the Thames to a balmy, crystal-clear coastline.
With an exquisitely curated menu in collaboration with cutting-edge tequila brand Casamigos, there’s plenty to raise your spirits. Whether it’s a Frozen Palomita or a Truffle Mezcal Negroni, there’s a bounty of flavours for anyone with good taste. And to line your stomach, there’s a delicious selection of tasty bites to sink your teeth into, incorporating traditional cooking and delectable seafood, all with a touch of cosmopolitan flair.
Casa Seabird might just be your way to escape the hustle this summer. With top-quality drinks and DJ sets secured, all we can do now is hope for a touch more sun and The Shard has never looked so good.
