| Its not the price, its the value of the overall experience. And if you don't like the experience then any price will seem poor value. One person's 'pretentious' is another's 'just lovely' - so even that is down to perception. But £16 is steep for a shot and a bit of juice. So to be more precise, the Waldorf Astoria cocktails are cheaper than the Langhams ... not by much though. However, so far, no Americans. Fair call on the stella versus fosters drinking though. But the days of even stella being re-assuringly expensive are over. Maybe that's the proposed tag line for 5-star hotel cocktails... re-assuringly expensive. |
