Proud to partner with Abercrombie & Kent UK for the Pegasus Club, with Chicago’s Ritz-Carlton Presidential Suite transformed for the occasion into a late-night listening bar inspired by the Japanese jazz kissa concept. Designed as an intimate after-party following Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group’s 100 Club gala, guests stepped into a seductive world of vinyl, globally inspired music and destination-driven cocktails. The AKTG Pegasus logo was reimagined as a monumental parchment sculpture behind the bar, while vinyl motifs carried throughout the suite – from cocktail menus presented inside record sleeves to miniature record coasters. Acclaimed mixologist Charles Joly created a Cocktail Atlas inspired by destinations including Japan and Peru, while spotlighting our brands Bloom Gin and @jo–vodka. At the centre of the suite was a listening bar curated by jazz label International Anthem featuring reel-to-reel players and vintage analogue equipment set against a Roy Lichtenstein artwork. Guests departed with vinyl records that celebrated the launch of A&K Sanctuary’s Pure Amazon river boat, featuring dawn and dusk field recordings captured in the Peruvian Amazon – part soundtrack, part souvenir. An all-round sound affair. #AbercrombieKent #BloomGin #JoVodka #QuintessentialBrands
