Tucked inside The Bloomsbury, The Doyle Collection's hotel in the heart of London’s literary district, The Coral Room is a vibrant, aesthetic-led bar designed by the acclaimed Martin Brudnizki. Known for its bold color palette and stunning chandeliers, every detail offers patrons a spirited sense of place. This winter, guests step into a festive partnership that blends Waterford’s signature artistry with the bar’s warmth and style.
Throughout, the spirit of the season is captured through the impressive Christmas tree and four custom cocktails served in the Waterford Mixology collection, crafted to add polish to the celebration.
Just steps from the Dominion Theatre—currently home to The Devil Wears Prada musical with music by Elton John—The Coral Room has created a limited-edition cocktail menu inspired by the show’s glamour and boldness. Each drink is served in Waterford Mixology drinkware, selected from mixed sets of Highballs, Coupes, and Tumblers. Within these sets, every glass carries one of four signature cut patterns: Argon, Circon, Neon, or Talon. Served together, the bar becomes a play of different lines, textures, and reflections with every round. The menu features four standout creations. The Waterford Sparkle blends Código 1530 Rosa Tequila with Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve NV, brightened by bay leaf cordial, cranberry, and kumquat for a bright and punchy profile. The Gold Star pairs Redbreast 12 Year Old Whiskey with the same Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve champagne, enriched by a Guinness-infused chocolate sauce that adds a deep, indulgent finish. For a more aromatic moment that's light, expressive, and layered, The Showstopper fuses Monkey 47 Gin with pear, jasmine, and pomegranate. Rounding out the collection, The Emerald Fizz delivers a refined non-alcoholic option with Darjeeling Sparkling Tea, pomegranate, Cherry Love Social, and mandarin foam. The different cuts and shapes allow the color, bubbles, and aromatics to shine in their own way. It’s a menu that nods to the musical and the precision of mixology, brought together through crystal.
At the center of the bar, a striking 12-foot Christmas tree rises beside the bar’s iconic coral walls. Dressed in hundreds of ornaments from the Elton John × Waterford collection, the tree glows with colorful light, casting a warm radiance across the space. Playing against the bar’s Art Deco details, the tree’s sparkle creates a moment of pure seasonal theatre that invites guests to linger, admire, and step fully into the spirit of Christmas.
The brand-new Elton John × Waterford collection lights up the tree for a festive display of artistry inspired by the musical legend. The collection is a celebration of craft and culture, ready to be gifted, cherished, and displayed. Each collectible design honors the enduring style of Elton John: his bold showmanship and the moments that define his career. Crafted with the signature precision and clarity of Waterford’s visual DNA, the pieces mix intricate faceted cuts with gleaming metallic accents and rich ribbon finishes. From the Rocket Man ornament, celebrating one of his most iconic songs, to the ‘E’ Icon bauble that evokes the disco-era glamour he brought to the stage, the collection takes key symbols from Elton’s journey and transforms them into striking seasonal icons. The AIDS Foundation Red Heart Ornament carries particular significance within the suite, as 10% of the sales of this design from May 2025 through May 2026 will be donated to the Elton John AIDS Foundation, supporting communities around the world affected by HIV & AIDS.Register now to become a Waterford member.
