Ritz-Carlton and The Macallan Redefine the Yacht Bar Cart

For The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, The Macallan didn't want a typical bar cart, it wanted an 'experience'.

By Samantha Coles

The Macallan approached Hawthorn Innovations, a creative agency, to craft an ‘experience’ for the launch of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. As the bar cart would be at sea, it needed to be functional – but, as this is both The Macallan and The Ritz-Carlton, it also needed to be seriously stylish.
