Vertigo (old Penthouse)
On the 14th of September, the newest addition to London’s luxury nightlife venues was launched. Set over three floors this exclusive venue is a combination of a boutique member’s club; sophisticated restaurant and stylish nightclub. The evening will begin, impressively, via a glass elevator that zooms up the exterior of Leicester Square, unveiling panoramic views of the metropolis. The first stop is View Lounge on the sixth floor; this beautifully decorated space features a dark, modern plush interior with a state of the art intelligent lighting system. Breath-taking views of London filter through the panorama of windows. Special attention has been given to detail, and the club offers a beautifully spacious bar combining what has been described as a rare mixture of extravagance and minimalism, fusing lavish sensuality with understated design touches. A short trip on the lift takes you to the seventh floor and the venue’s premier restaurant, Loft Kitchen & Bar. Loft is a stylish affair set in what could only be described as a swanky New York City loft apartment. The interior features a Soho-chic oak floor throughout, brick walls and chesterfield sofas. The venue’s extensive balcony offers London’s most astonishing view to create a unique
dining experience. Head chef Tim Haigh, previously of Chez Bruce, and Manager JC Jury of Sugar Hut and K-Bar fame, have blended an impressive menu of modern-European classics that are sure to please the palettes of even the most discerning clientele. But the main feature of this three story luxurious playground is hidden above the restaurant on the eighth floor. A secluded private staircase leads up to The Suite, a highly exclusive and restricted member’s club. Once upstairs, members must swipe their personal security cards to release the door. Those lucky enough to gain access to The Suite will be captivated by the luxurious layout of the space and its fine details. Styled as the interior of a lavish modern hotel suite, the lounge includes all the commodities of a real deluxe apartment including a kitchen, living room, entertainment centre and even a bedroom. The designer-stainless steel kitchen serves as the bar, where award winning bartenders create unique house cocktails; large leather booths and wooden floors give the living room an air of homeliness; and the bedroom contains all the essentials, including a large plasma screen as well as a Sony Playstation games console. The Suite’s exclusive member policy, luxurious feel and majestic views of the city will certainly make it one of London’s most sought after establishments
