Experimental was founded in 2007 by three childhood friends: Olivier Bon, Pierre-Charles Cros and Romée de Goriainoff. Xavier Padovani later joined the group and their shared vision: to offer the ultimate hospitality experience to discerning clientele. Renowned for bringing the cocktail bar culture to Paris, Experimental operates five Experimental Cocktail Club bars in Paris, London, Venice, the Cotswolds and Verbier. To the mix, the group has added STEREO, a late night restaurant and bar with live music; Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, a wine bar concept in Paris, London and New York City; and Ibiza’s iconic beach club, Experimental Beach. Today, the flagship of the group is its hotel collection with ten hotels across London, the Cotswolds, Biarritz, Paris, Ibiza, Menorca, Verbier and Venice, where each hotel offers something unique, be it a bar, restaurant or spa.
