About Us Founded in 2007 by childhood friends Olivier Bon, Pierre-Charles Cros, and Romée De Goriainoff, and joined by Xavier Padovani in 2010, Experimental has redefined the codes of hospitality by offering a unique experience of contemporary elegance and warmth to a discerning international clientele. Renowned for bringing the cocktail bar culture to Paris, the group now operates cocktail bars, wine bars, restaurants, and, since 2015, hotels.

The group also has properties in Venice, New York, Biarritz, and the Cotswolds. Experimental service philosophy is built around three core principles: the quality of the products, the precision of the service, and the genuine warmth of our welcome.
