The Experimental Group was founded in 2007 by three childhood friends, Olivier Bon, Pierre-Charles Cros, and Romée de Goriainoff. Xavier Padovani later joined them and shared their vision: to offer the ultimate hospitality experience to an ever-demanding clientele. Celebrated for bringing the cocktail bar culture to Paris, the Experimental Group operates Experimental Cocktail Club bars in Paris, London, Venice and Verbier; wine bars, Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, in Paris, London and New York City; restaurants and beach clubs in Menorca, Verbier, Paris, Venice, Ibiza and London; and hotels in London, the Cotswolds, Paris, Ibiza, Verbier, Menorca, Venice and Biarritz. Acquired by the Experimental Group in 2022, Cowley Manor is entering the next chapter of its life. The property is home to 36 bedrooms complemented by a spa, restaurant, cocktail lounge, library, mudroom and plentiful living rooms. The property features a postcard landscape of rolling hills and sheep dotted in the distance spread across 55 acres of idyllic countryside. The refurbished design by Dorothée Meilichzon has taken inspiration from each chapter of Cowley Manor’s book, weaving together classical inspiration with contemporary elements across each of the estate’s bedrooms. A sort of joyeux bordel, a happy mess. The new restaurant and cocktail bar at Cowley Manor is a place to celebrate a milestone, or simply enjoy a wonderful meal. Local produce will be at the forefront, highlighting some of Gloucestershire’s finest offerings. The spa features treatments such as relaxing massages, facials and more. gym, indoor or outdoor pool.
