Alchemy by Loews Hotels is a brand-wide beverage program from Loews Hotels & Co, developed in response to shifting consumer preferences toward personalization, craftsmanship, and drinking with intentionality.
It has been a few years since Loews Hotels & Co debuted its Free Spirited program, featuring a curated selection of drinks to support mindful consumption and ensure non-alcoholic and low-alcohol options are as well-crafted as their full-alcohol counterparts. Alchemy by Loews Hotels was developed to "transform the brand's Free Spirited service into a transportive moment shaped by creativity and attention to detail," and it does so through an artful lens full of depth and sensory nuance.
With Alchemy by Loews Hotels, participating properties will interpret the program through a local lens, using destination-inspired flavors and seasonal botanicals. The apothecary-inspired approach to modern mixology introduces selections like the theatrical Smoked Rosemary Negroni at Loews Philadelphia Hotel, featuring pineapple-infused Hendrick's Gin.
