AL MARE, the flagship all-day dining restaurant at The Carlton Towers Jumeirah, has just opened in London, bringing a slice of Italy into the heart of Belgravia. A separate street entrance on Cadogan Place draws the locals into their new neighbourhood eatery, as well as discerning hotel guests that typically book a table before they even check in.
To enjoy the British summertime, an expansive terrace directly across Cadogan Gardens gives patrons the chance to enjoy a cocktail or two outdoors, with the option to dine al fresco, weather permitting.

Check out the sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere and the efficient service provided by the slick, designer-attired team. Internationally renowned design studio 1508 London was appointed to transform the hotel, including Al Mare.
A large marble bar and separate cosy lounge area is the perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks, with expansive windows flooding the room with masses of natural light.
