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

Into The Wild
Inspired by this year's Belgravia in Bloom event, our mixologists present the 'Into The Wild' cocktail, bursting with summery tropical flavours of cachaça, mango, coconut, agave syrup and a hint of chili.
Bringing the world’s leading publisher of the highest quality illustrated books to the cosy, literary scene of The Library Bar, guests are invited to sit back with a New York inspired cocktail and enjoy some of Rizzoli’s finest books displayed throughout the bar.
Discover our delightfully smooth gin, infused with a medley of natural botanicals inspired by the floras of the Royal Gardens of Hyde, St James’s, and Green Park.
Pairing two guest favourites, take a seat in the gilded Withdrawing Room and savour The Lilibet cocktail with freshly baked scones, clotted cream, jam and your choice of tea.
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.
