A Cinnamon Experience at Hilton London Canary Wharf

The new Hilton London Canary Wharf pays homage to its historic location with Cinnamon Bar & Restaurant.

Canary Wharf has long been a center of commerce, dating back to the 18th century when it was the UK's main importing area for various goods including spices. At the Hilton, an $88,000 slate wall imported from China stretches across the lobby and dining areas, its rich colors evoking the spice from which Cinnamon Bar & Restaurant takes its name.

Cinnamon infuses the hotel's cocktail and dining menus. At the bar, guests can sip a cinnamon martini or the signature "Canary Coo" shooter (mandarin vodka and cinnamon schnapps), and choose from 16 different vodkas, with varied flavors such as: pepper, vanilla, cranberry, citrus and lime. Travelers needing a boost will enjoy the Red Bull-tinged Energy Cocktail menu.

Meals at Cinnamon boast the best in local ingredients served with a simple yet contemporary flair. Chef Neil Thrift, formerly of Scotland's prestigious five-star Gleneagle's hotel, has designed a menu that features top UK specialties-from renowned Gloucestershire Old Spot pig to delectable Brixham crab. And, of course, the signature spice is found throughout the menu in such dishes as: terrine of Welch lamb and cinnamon spice (starter); loin of Gloucestershire Old Spot with brown apples and cinnamon chutney with Madeira sauce (main); treacle tart, slow-roasted peaches and cinnamon syrup (dessert).
