Perfectly positioned in the centre of Pikes, it’s always been the space where people come together – whether coming from their rooms down to the pool, from the restaurant across to the Sunset Terrace, or from Freddies out into the balmy summer night air – and congregate over drinks, beneath the sun, stars and sky.
Over the years, it’s seen many guises. From the place where Tony Pike would entertain his famous guests as the Ku Club pre-party parades would trot boldly through the hotel to entice guests to the parties after dark, and the scene of Freddie Mercury’s legendary 41st birthday party, to the setting for some amazing live acts including Jarvis Cocker, Miles Kane, Paco Fernandez and the incredible Ronnie Scott’s jazz artists – and not forgetting our very own Pikes House Band of course!
