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 deploys her magical mixology to invoke the spirit of a Parisian midnight. Brilliant, creative and technically adept, Anne-Sophie Prestail has the talent to improvise a cocktail that perfectly matches her clients' desires. All inspirations are 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!
