In 1973 David Bowie threw a party at Hotel Café Royal to bid farewell to his alter ego Ziggy Stardust, and invited Lou Reed, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and Barbra Streisand to help him celebrate.

Now the celebrity haunt in Regent Street is giving visitors a chance to relive the star-studded bash at a bar named after the icon of glam rock.

Ziggy’s, which opens next month, is decorated with images of the late singer by Mick Rock, who was Bowie’s official photographer at the time of the party.

The pictures, including iconic and rarely seen images, are being displayed in collaboration with London gallery Beautiful Crime.

Some of the singer’s favourite drinks will be served alongside cocktails inspired by his life and the 1972 album The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars. Many of the drinks are named after lyrics from the record, including “Darkness and Disgrace”, inspired by a line in the track Lady Stardust, and “Tigers on Vaseline”, taken from Hang On To Yourself and described as a modern take on the pina colada.

Bowie held the party, dubbed The Last Supper, on July 3, 1973, after announcing on stage at the Hammersmith Odeon that the show was “the last that we’ll ever do”. This was later taken to mean he was retiring his glam rock persona. Bowie, who was born in Brixton, died of liver cancer in January 2016, aged 69, just days after the release of his final studio album Blackstar.

Fabio Spinetti, the hotel’s bars and beverages manager, said: “Café Royal has always been the place where great minds would come to discuss great ideas. David Bowie played a really important part in Café Royal’s history, with the famous Last Supper taking place here. It only seems fitting to provide a homage to one of our most esteemed patrons.”
