The Rubens at the Palace hotel, overlooking the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace, has launched the Leopard Bar. Serving over 200 whiskies and 30 Champagnes against a backdrop of live jazz music, the Leopard Bar will bring a new level of sophistication and elegance to Victoria’s nightlife scene.

This year guests can participate in Chia Breathe, a movement and meditation programme, which fuses conscious breathing and spontaneous physical exercises, and aims to enhance the individual’s mental and physical health.
