Bar Hemingway

Just 25 seats, unchanged décor, objects and handwritten letters that tell the story of the adventurous writer. There's something here you just don’t find anywhere else: an authenticity, an ambience, the scent of romance. Nurse a glass, chat with our barmaid at the counter, get to know your neighbors. At Bar Hemingway, you have to allow time to pass. The charm follows naturally.

Every evening, our bartender summons her expertise in mixology to reimagine the magic of midnight in Paris. Creativity, precision, and a flair for improvisation combine to bring unique cocktails into being, each crafted in response to guests’ requests. All muses to the mix are equally welcome!

Bar Hemingway feels as intimate as the bond that tied the writer to our hotel. He wrote that Paris was the Ritz; a permanent party, a place full of promise. From the 1920s onwards he made the bar his headquarters, spending time with his friends Francis Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald over a cognac or Dry Martini. Over the years, he forged a friendship with bartenders Georges and Bertin. As an aside, the current location of Bar Hemingway was once that of Le Petit Bar, the first upscale bar in the capital open to women, who could turn up unaccompanied - a breath of freedom, years ahead of its time!
