Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge Celebrates Year of The Horse

This Lunar New Year, Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge invites guests to welcome in the Year of the Horse by taking part in an immersive wishing tree activation, indulging in an unforgettable dining experience at signature Asian restaurant Mei Ume, and enjoying Lunar New Year cocktails made with Hennessy that celebrate the beauty of the season, designed by Michele Lombardi, the hotel’s talented Head of Bars.

To mark the occasion, from February 4 until March 6, 2026, the hotel’s Rotunda Bar & Lounge will be transformed with elegant Lunar New Year décor, from towering plumes of deep red feathers to stunning hand-crafted lanterns and elegant nods to the Year of the Horse. Taking centre stage under the grand domed ceiling is a beautiful wishing tree, adorned with a canopy of natural branches blossoming with red tassels and wishing cards.

A bespoke cocktail, The Eternal Seasons, will be available throughout the Year of the Horse in the Rotunda Bar & Lounge. A tribute to the elegance and craftsmanship upheld in Four Seasons hotels around the world, the cocktail is quietly complex with an initial richness that gives way to a refined, silky sweetness. Botanical and delicate tea notes are followed by a long, clean finish of soft spices, fruits and gentle tannins. During the Lunar New Year period, a wishing card will be served alongside The Eternal Seasons cocktail and guests are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the season by hanging their wishes on the branches of the wishing tree in the centre of Rotunda Bar & Lounge, a traditional gesture to grant good fortune for the year ahead.

Beyond Rotunda Bar & Lounge, the opulent decor of lanterns and dramatic feather arrangements continue in Mei Ume, where the Chef de Cuisine Peter Ho presents a specially curated ten-course tasting menu. Available from February 15 until March 3, 2026 for GBP 128 per person including a welcome Lunar New Year cocktail, Mei Ume will also offer a limited-edition cocktail menu that reflects the Year of the Horse to be paired with each dish.

The tasting menu begins with the traditional Prosperity Tossed Salmon Salad, followed by an Iberico Char Siu and Roasted Pork Platter. Guests will then enjoy Koi Dim Sum served in a delicate seafood broth with Chinese seaweed, lotus leaf and goji, before moving on to a Double-boiled Clam Superior Soup with Morel Mushroom and Mustard. The menu continues with Steamed Seabass accompanied by a ten-year aged yellow wine sauce, red chilli and coriander, followed by Wok-fried Cured Meats with stem lettuce and bamboo shoots, including Chinese sausage, pork belly, garlic and black beans. A Braised Vegetable Parcel of Bean Curd, baby Pak choi and shimeji is then served before a dish of Olive Fried Rice with asparagus and white fungus. The experience concludes with a Black Sesame Rice Ball served in a warming ginger and date broth.

The Lunar New Year cocktail menu, available both in Mei Ume and in Rotunda Bar & Lounge, includes the Golden Reverie, a rich and luxurious cocktail designed for reflection and celebration, combining Hennessy XO, Pedro Ximenez, Apple Cordial and Maple Verjus. The Crimson Fortune Fizz - inspired by the colour or the season - is a vibrant cocktail to welcome the new year, with Hennessy VSOP, Muyu Chinotto, Umeshu Plum and Hibiscus tea. The Sidecar Royal gives a regal reinterpretation of the classic cocktail, with Moët & Chandon Imperial Champagne, and the Jade Orchard, a fresh and elegant cocktail of Hennessy VSOP, Muyu Vetiver, Rue Berry, White Port and Soda represents harmony, wisdom and longevity.
