The Library Bar
One of the capital's most celebrated cocktail destinations, The Library Bar – distinguished by its outstanding mixology and venerable "liquid museum" of spirits – offers the warm and intimate atmosphere of a private club accompanied by a vibrant ambiance that makes it a popular choice with Knightsbridge and Belgravia's well-heeled locals as well as hotel guests. The bar is home to cognacs dating back to the 1770s, as well as spectacularly prepared cocktails by a team of award-winning experts including Bar Manager Mickael Perron.
"The atmosphere is a cool mix of classic and contemporary, the perfect setting for the most British of cocktails...." Condé Nast Traveller
"A Classic. Perhaps the classic…One great bar." Tatler

We're celebrating Negroni Week this September with our very own nod to the classic, the St George's Negroni. A robust cocktail, Campari, Cynar and Graham’s Port 10 years old are uplifted with Bombay Sapphire gin and some rather unexpected surprise ingredients.
Whether a drink at the end of a long day of meetings or a celebratory glass to toast a special occasion, everyone likes to be able to select a drink they know and love. Learn more about The Library Bar team's commitment to push the boundaries.
With bottles dating back to 1770, The Library Bar exudes old-world charm and treats guests to a truly unique experience. Awarded 'Cognac Drinks List of the Year' by Imbibe Magazine in 2016.
