Dita Von Teese to unveil the Cointreau Privé,
London’s most exclusive speakeasy, opening this autumn
This November sees the launch of the Cointreau Privé, London’s most exclusive speakeasy. Opening for a limited three-week period from 29th November until 17th December, the cocktail lounge will offer the ultimate in decadent drinking and dining, French mystique and illicit entertainment, all housed in a top secret location.
Co-designed by the iconic French liqueur house, Cointreau and its super-chic global ambassador Dita von Teese, the Privé is composed of a series of uniquely themed private salons, all modelled on Dita’s LA home. Expect decadently decorated rooms adorned with some of her most prized personal possessions, allowing you to leave London at the door and lose yourself in the golden age of glamour.
The Cointreau Privé’s unmarked doors will be grandly opened by Dita herself on 29th November. Taking to the stage for a much-anticipated, ultra-exclusive UK performance, the Queen of Burlesque will unveil the opulent cocktail lounge to a select audience of just 300 people.

With the venue designed to showcase the style and sophistication embodied in the iconic French liqueur, Cointreau will be central to the menu’s selection of classic and contemporary cocktails, enhancing drinks with its perfect balance of bitter and sweet orange peel and essential oils.
