Artisan Coffee Co. x Bel & The Dragon - Bringing You A New Way To Brew
We are absolutely over the moon to introduce our new partnership with Artisan Coffee Co. Not only are the team at Artisan best in class when it comes to specialist coffee, but they embody the same passion for hospitality that we do and, like us, they know that a hotel stay is about more than finding somewhere to rest your head for the night; it’s about creating lasting memories. You only need to taste Artisan coffee to understand that they’re doing something truly special. The aim of our partnership with Artisan Coffee Co. is simple: to give you the power to indulge in barista-standard coffee from the comfort of your hotel - without needing any special skills or fancy equipment - so that you can enjoy coffee your way, every day.
Artisan approach coffee in the same way that tea has been approached for centuries: while it’s considered normal - even expected - to be offered a selection of teas to choose from in your hotel room, the same is almost never true for coffee. We are now pleased to be able to offer you choice and variety when it comes to coffee, so you can hand-pick both the blend and a brew type that works for your mood and the energy of the day. By pushing the boundaries of taste and flavour, the team at Artisan have crafted an elevated coffee experience that continues to break new ground. Each coffee is bursting with fresh, natural aromas, is easy to understand, easy to brew, and even easier to drink.
Ashley Palmer-Watts - Co-Founder Artisan Coffee Co.
Artisan’s blends were created by some of the biggest names in the business. From a Michelin two-starred chef, Ashley Palmer-Watts, to a team of the world’s best Q graders (the coffee industry’s equivalent to a sommelier), some of the best minds - and palates - in the business are behind Artisan’s characterful blends.
Artisan coffee is carefully and thoughtfully sourced and their packaging is completely recyclable, so you can enjoy the perfect cup time and again - with none of the guilt and all of the flavour. Whether you’re reclining with a book in the lobby, meeting with business associates, or treating yourself to some much-needed downtime in the privacy of your bedroom, pouring a cup of Artisan coffee will take the moment to a new level of deliciousness. Paul Dickson, our Director of Food, said: "I had no idea coffee could taste this good! Once I’d tasted it, I just knew we had to have it. What Ashley and his team have created is incredible, it’s game-changing; they’re telling a story. This is more than just coffee. It’s a whole experience!" Artisan’s signature collection includes three indulgent, flavour-forward coffees with something for everybody and for every mood: The Big Shot – Dark and memorably rich, The Big Shot oozes sophistication. An intense, full-bodied coffee; this powerful character is packed with luxurious notes of dark chocolate, fudge and vanilla. The Smart Cookie – Sumptuously smooth, The Smart Cookie is like a big hug in a mug with a flavour profile redolent of honey, nibbed cocoa, and freshly-baked biscuits. Delicious. The Dreamer – Sweet harmony; a deluxe decaf with notes of honeyed chocolate and walnut that allows you to enjoy a deliciously characterful cup of coffee, 24 hours a day.
