BOURDON HOUSE IS A HISTORIC GRADE II LISTED BUILDING IN LONDON’S MAYFAIR THAT WAS FIRST ERECTED IN 1720, MORE THAN A CENTURY BEFORE ALFRED DUNHILL WAS BORN. IN 1911, THE DUKE OF WESTMINSTER SET HIS SIGHTS ON BOURBON HOUSE, HAVING LENT THE FAMILY’S LONDON RESIDENCE, GROSVENOR HOUSE, TO THE GOVERNMENT AS A WARTIME GESTURE OF PATRIOTISM. IT WAS IN THIS HOUSE THAT HE WOOED COCO CHANEL, SPOILING HER WITH EXTRAVAGANT GIFTS FOR NEARLY HALF A DECADE.
BESPOQE WAS APPOINTED TO OVERSEE THE ENTIRE RE-DESIGN, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, AND REFURBISHMENT OF THE FORMER CELLAR BAR, NOW KNOWS AS ALFIE’S BAR, A SOPHISTICATED RETREAT IN THE HEART OF MAYFAIR.
DARK WALLS, PREMIUM LEATHER UPHOLSTERED CHESTERFIELD BENCHES, CUSTOM-MADE FURNITURE AND A MAHOGANY LIBRARY FILLED WITH ORIGINAL 19TH CENTURY BOOKS COMPLEMENT THE LUXURIOUS AND INTIMATE INTERIOR. EVERY ASPECT OF THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN HAND-CRAFTED BY BRITISH ARTISAN AND PAYS TRIBUTE TO ALFRED DUNHILL’S PASSION ABOUT CRAFTSMANSHIP AND HIS HERITAGE IN PRODUCING LUXURY GOODS OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY.
