Over the course of three days, Cointreau invited fans into a multisensory, experiential townhouse in Soho to celebrate its brand heritage. The storytelling Maison Cointreau offered a look back on the brand's history, all the way back to its inception in 1849.
The four-floor Maison Cointreau offered a different sensory experience on each floor, starting by welcoming guests into the space with an edible cocktail. A bottle-shaped tunnel led guests through the space, and all the while, the sounds of a French bistro could be heard in the background. On the other floors of the space, visitors got to take in the sights of historic posters and bottles, as well a sense of how the product is made in the distillery in Angers, in North-Western France.
