MOËT BRINGS FIZZ TO BEAUTY HALL

Champagne maker Moët & Chandon has opened its first permanent space in Europe within the beauty halls on the ground floor of London department store Harrods. Mark Faithfull looks at a project that fizzed and popped for umdasch.

Of course, Harrods has had places for a glass of ice-cold bubbly before. But nothing of this ambition, with the 250 square metres ground floor bar, which opened on 7 July 2022, sat amid designer brands in its beauty hall and facing out onto Basil Street, where many a well-heeled shopper dines al fresco or gets dropped off and picked up in luxury limos and supercars.
