The Georgia Bar
Rosewood Hotel Georgia

From its debut, The Georgia Bar transformed the heart of Rosewood Hotel Georgia into a modern classic gathering space, blending timeless sophistication with contemporary cocktail artistry. This project introduced an elevated cocktail menu alongside whisky tastings and curated small bites, creating an inviting ambiance with dark wood paneling, a marble-topped bar, and a signature palette of copper and forest green. Live musical performances on select evenings added to its charm.

The cocktail menu was a journey through history, with each creation drawing inspiration from the hotel’s rich heritage.

Highlights included:

Patricia - A spirit-forward mix of Tanqueray No. Ten Gin, Dill-Lillet Blanc, Dry Vermouth, and Lemon Tincture, honoring the Patricia Room, a space dedicated to HRH Edward, Prince of Wales, upon the hotel’s opening.

Mr. Hospitality - Basil Hayden Bourbon, Maple, Cardamom, Amaretto, and Cacao Bitters, a nod to J.A. Weldon, the hotel’s founding manager celebrated for his hospitality.

Hotel Georgia - A reimagining of the hotel’s signature 1950s cocktail, featuring Tanqueray Gin, Orgeat, Lemon, Orange Blossom Water, Egg White, and Nutmeg Dust.

Newsman’s Club - A vibrant mix of Casamigos Reposado, Chartreuse Verte, Falernum, Lime, and Roasted Sesame, paying homage to the hotel’s renowned private member’s club.

The Herrick - Belvedere Vodka, Pinot Grigio, Pear, Makrut Lime Leaf, Earl Grey Tea, Verjus, and Barrel-Aged Vanilla Bitters, a tribute to Fred Herrick’s decades of dedicated service as the hotel’s shoe shiner.

R.T.G. - A luxurious blend of The Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old, Sweet Vermouth, Tonka Bean, Tarragon Honey, and Angostura, honoring architect Robert T. Garrow, who designed the original hotel.

This project captured the essence of Vancouver’s rich cocktail culture and timeless hospitality, leaving an indelible mark on the city’s luxury bar scene.
