First and foremost, today the world has suffered a great loss with the untimely passing of Michael Jackson, arguably the greatest entertainer of all time.   We extend our prayers to the entire Jackson family – and we thank you for being such a driving inspiration in the lives of so many.

But even before this tragic news; today was already painful as we were forced to further delay Alto’s much anticipated opening.  As I wrote in my previous post, we are committed to a non-negotiable standard of excellence, and while I am elated to report that we are oh so close, we simply could not resolve issues rooted in UK customs and excise in time.

On behalf of Alto London, I wish to thank all of you for your understanding and patience.  We are electing to open next Wednesday, the 1st of July, and we see it as a fitting turning point for a challenging 2009!   Rest assured, we will be worth the wait!

We will warm-up with a one-hour Canapes and Drinks reception at 10PM, and turn up the volume from 11PM onward!   Dress code is Smart & Glamorous, and you are encouraged to make booking enquires at RSVP & Bookings.

Here’s to ushering in “Act II of 2009” together!

Sincerely,

Fraser Donaldson, Managing Director
