Members of the royal family and the political class, designers, artists and sports personalities all meet to orchestrate the social life of the British capital.<\/p>\n<p>Right at the heart of it all, with the elegant Mayfair to the west, creative Soho to the east and the sophisticated St. James\u2019s to the south, the hotel couldn't ask for a better location. And what\u2019s more, it\u2019s just undergone renovation: its original historic parts have been carefully restored, while the 159 guest rooms and suites have been redesigned as sumptuous private apartments.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hotel Cafe Royal in London\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vmN1c1v94wU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So where does Bowie come into it? SoBARNESpedia takes you back to 1972: David Bowie creates a fictional alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, whom his fifth album, the legendary <em>The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars<\/em>, is centred around. And the rest is written in the History of music... But because all good things come to an end, Bowie decided to say goodbye to Ziggy Stardust one year later. This official separation between the artist and his double was announced on 3\u00a0July\u00a01973 at an evening that holds a place in the annals of rock. In the presence, no less, of Lou Reed, Barbra Streisand, Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney. Where? At the Caf\u00e9 Royal, of course, anywhere else would have been unbecoming.<\/p>\n<p>Five decades later, the presence of David Bowie and his double can still be felt in Ziggy\u2019s Bar, papered with photos taken on that famous 3 July.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ziggy&#039;s Cocktail Bar\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i3t2o5HVwCE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So what about Van Gogh? To celebrate the arrival of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/vangoghexpo.com\/london\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Van Gogh: The Immersive Exhibition<\/a>, <\/em>the Caf\u00e9 Royal is taking its clients on a tasting discovery through some of his most famous pieces. Including the \u201cCrab and Dill Mayonnaise on Lemon Bread\u201d sandwich, inspired by a painting from 1887, <em>Two Crabs<\/em>. And the \u201cVase with Twelve Sunflowers\u201d composed of a sunflower seed praline and salted caramel. And to finish off, the \u201cVan Gogh Self-Portrait\u201d with pecan crunchy, coffee mousse and taro sponge, served on its own easel!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-113307 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/a-hotel-that-intermixes-van-gogh-and-bowie-in-london\/attachment\/van-gogh-tiff-files-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Van-Gogh-T-2-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-112966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Van-Gogh-T-2-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Van-Gogh-T-2-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-112966'>\n\t\t\t\tVan Gogh &#8211; TIFF FILES\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/a-hotel-that-intermixes-van-gogh-and-bowie-in-london\/attachment\/van-gogh-tiff-files-3-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Van-Gogh-T-11-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-112970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Van-Gogh-T-11-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Van-Gogh-T-11-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-112970'>\n\t\t\t\tVan Gogh &#8211; TIFF FILES\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/a-hotel-that-intermixes-van-gogh-and-bowie-in-london\/attachment\/van-gogh-tiff-files-2-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Van-Gogh-T-9-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-112968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Van-Gogh-T-9-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Van-Gogh-T-9-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-112968'>\n\t\t\t\tVan Gogh &#8211; TIFF FILES\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>And the cherry on the paintbrush, this afternoon tea is served until January\u00a02022 in the Oscar Wilde lounge, where David Bowie set aside Ziggy Stardust and danced with Liz Taylor\u2026<\/p>\n<p>London here we come!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:laurent@sobarnes.om\">laurent@sobarnes.om<\/a><\/p>\n<p>--<\/p>\n<p>Infomartion: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelcaferoyal.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hotelcaferoyal.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Caf\u00e9 Royal has been one of the hotspots of the London smart set for 150 years.
