Having made waves with their fun-filled Mexican themed bar in Putney, London, the team behind El Patron have announced plans for Europe’s ‘first tequila hotel’ on the Isle of Wight.

Due to open in Q3 2015, the bar, restaurant and hotel will be in a striking red brick Grade II listed building in the island’s St Thomas’s Square.

An El Patron spokesperson confirmed to Leisure Opportunities that co-owner Andrew Taylor will lead the design of the new site, juxtaposing the classical architectural structure of the building with an eclectic interior. The inside will be transformed into a ‘Mexican playground’ with exposed brick walls, Latino inspired artwork, colourful Mediterranean style shutters, a corrugated iron bar, and reclaimed material from former warships.

The upstairs boutique hotel will consist of six bespoke Mexican styled rooms, each themed around a different drink from El Patron’s tequila menu. Each room will have its own individual cocktail-set for guests to enjoy the full tequila experience.

In the bar section, there will be live music and DJs from Wednesday to Saturday, playing a mix of Latino-inspired hits to keep guests dancing until dawn.

El Patron is the brainchild of couple Aiste Bart and Andrew Taylor, who opened their first El Patron venue last November and are already planning a third location, due to open later this year.
