First Look: Hithe + Seek bar on the Thames

This November, head to The Thames for a new drink and dining destination right on the water – Hithe + Seek. The Westin London City, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s extraordinary portfolio of hotels around the world, is set to debut a new bar on the North Bank. Amplifying the city’s gourmet scene, Hithe & Seek is a riverside bar with unrivalled views of the Tate Modern and more.

Set on the Thames pathway, Hithe & Seek is a vibrant wine bar that takes inspiration from the hotel’s surroundings and reflects both the element of discovery that can be found within and the location overlooking the historic Queenhithe.

Plush furnishings and modern finishes create an intimate atmosphere perfect for both spontaneous evenings and special events. The eclectic wine list, made up of 80 references, is carefully split into two sections – Hithe which features a selection of familiar favourites and Seek which showcases undiscovered gems hand-picked for diners looking to expand their palate. 

Following suit, the culinary offering combines recipes from old and new world wine-producing countries, resulting in a menu of small plates designed to bring people together through sharing and pairing with grapes specially selected by Erin Summers, the hotel’s esteemed Wine Curator. From grilled Galatian octopus, set on a bed of ‘forbidden’ rice with saffron aioli, to wild trout tiradito accompanied by crispy quinoa, the plates have been created to perfectly complement a glass of red, white, sparkling or orange. 

Those hoping to expand their wine knowledge and palates can join Hithe + Seek’s monthly wine club.  Led by Erin herself, the club provides members, or ‘Seekers’, with access to monthly wine tastings hosted by winemakers and distributors, an exclusive discount at the hotel’s dining and wellness venues, access to bespoke tours and events, and tips on the best wines to try each season. 

Hithe + Seek at Westin London City opens on November 1, to book and for more information, please visit  www.westinlondoncity.com / @thewestinlondoncity
