Created by Anouska Hempel, the London hotelier and internationally renowned designer, the hotel offers her style elegance
and sensational service to the well-travelled connoisseur. Blakes is now established as totally unique worldwide and has been
the model for the “fashionable small hotel” in London and cities around the world.
Every design brief Anouska Hempel addresses is carried out with her signature, perfectionism and respect for quality.
Her clothes are couture, her interiors attract connoisseurs and opinion leaders and her menu must constitute an
epicurean Nirvana. Mediocrity is not in her design vocabulary.

It’s rare these days to see such a sublime combination
of teak, steel and canvas at the harbour’s edge. Indeed,
you need to look right back to the ‘30s, to the age of the
J-Class Yachts, for a comparable sight.
It means that when you drive down to the marina in your
new Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé, you and
your friends will experience the exhilaration of the
open sea the second you open the throttle.

wo generations of chefs have been trained at Le Gavroche. Many of them, like Pierre Koffman,
Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay have gone on to run their own Michelin starred
establishments. Michel Roux is still only a young man, but it would seem he will leave a great
mark on the restaurant scene in this country.
Le Gavroche is a place for
those who, in the words of
Oliver Wendell Holmes “wish to
dispense with the necessities of
life and indulge in its luxuries.”
It is difficult to assess exactly how a total feeling of luxury is generated at Le Gavroche. Each element food, service, decor - makes its own contribution. But ever since it first opened its doors that feeling has
always been evident.
The fact that the reputation of Le Gavroche continues to ride high in the eyes of critics and customers
now rests firmly on the food being prepared by Michel Roux. This remains classically based. There are no
flashy tricks or novelty items. The quality of the ingredients remain supreme. Respect for them lies at the
heart of each dish. Chapel’s influence may be seen in Michel Roux’s insistence that all meats and poultry
be cooked on the bone, which gives it greater flavour and texture, and all are carved at the table, which
all adds to the ceremony of eating in a great restaurant.
