But people will be able to step into the Spy Glass Bar from August 26 — where no doubt a martini, shaken but not stirred, will quickly become a favourite tipple.

We felt we needed a quality bar to go along with everything else we are doing. While the interior of the hotel is still a shell — from a first look round its potential is clear. Guests will arrive via a vast lobby with some bedrooms arranged around an inner atrium and larger rooms and suites overlooking the seafront. The space is unrecognisable from the old Palace nightclub and Sands cabaret venue which once operated there.
Other elements of the Sands Hotel, which will be managed by the same company running the five star Lowery Hotel in Salford, will be a luxury spa, bistro and penthouse suite. The inner atrium will boast a tree extending towards the ceiling onto which will be projected images of the sky — including the stars after dark, and clouds and sun during the day.
Meanwhile the extensive glazing, whose black colour came in for criticism when it was first unveiled, has been designed to offer privacy to guests. It provides privacy for the bedrooms and for the bars and public areas in a place where we have millions of people passing by each day. The Martin Dodd production will open its curtain on Friday December 3 with 51 show-stopping performances running throughout December and the first week of January.
