Members can indulge in a curated selection of world-class dining, sophisticated gaming, bespoke relaxation, and other activities—all designed around the core principles of absolute privacy and exclusivity.
The Enchanted Grove: A Conceptual Sanctuary
The design philosophy for The Horizon is embodied by the concept of an "Enchanted Grove"—a magical, secluded garden often found in fantasy and folklore. This "enchantment" evokes a spellbinding atmosphere, transforming the club into a captivating and otherworldly retreat.
Upon arrival, guests are intended to feel as though they have discovered a secret garden hidden within the hotel. This provides an immediate sense of transition from the vibrant energy of the main gaming floor into a tranquil sanctuary designed for quiet contemplation and relaxation.
A Design Inspired by Nature's Delicate Beauty
The aesthetic journey seamlessly guides visitors from public dining spaces to intimate private lounges. The design draws inspiration from the organic forms of nature and the rich, delicate textures of a garden in spring. Guests will find themselves immersed in a series of lush, green spaces, where soft, atmospheric lighting creates a private and cozy environment.
A key feature of the design is the harmonious interplay between the interior and exterior. The boundary between inside and outside is intentionally blurred, allowing nature to weave throughout the space. This is exemplified in the terrace area, where guests can enjoy al fresco beverages within a carefully controlled climate, surrounded by curated art and lush vegetation, completing the immersive, enchanted experience.
A Tailor-Made, Luxurious Experience
Within the Horizon, guests have access to the most exclusive amenities. They can savor champagne and seafood in the Oyster Bar, host a private gathering in the VIP dining room, or indulge in grooming at Truefitt & Hill—London’s most celebrated traditional barber and perfumer, with a legacy spanning over two centuries.
For the utmost in privacy and comfort, individual VIP hair salon rooms are designed to eliminate all distractions. Each room features a fully adjustable Takara Belmont barber chair, equipped with state-of-the-art backwash facilities, allowing guests to enjoy a full hair treatment without ever leaving their seat.
