Recently named World’s Best Hotel Bar at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards, we paid the American Bar a long overdue visit. After all, we hadn’t been back since it was refurbished few years back. Pleased to report the bar didn’t disappoint and continues to evoke its inspiring atmosphere of timeless elegance.

We started our liquid dinner with White Lady and Cuprum Cocktail 29.

After our cocktail starter we moved on to our main course of champagne. Several glasses later we had made friends with the barman who was now on first name terms with us and suggesting we make song requests for their resident piano man: we chose classics by Ole Blue Eyes and Al Green.
