Oddly, hotel bars frequently go under the radar when planning a night out. You may choose to start with a swift one at the hotel bar when meeting up with others in your party to plan your assault proper on the city... but snuggling in for the night is rarely on the cards.



Well, that's just missing out.



Hotel bars have a charm and sophistication which echo the history and character of the hotel itself... and London does a particularly good line in charm and sophistication... so you're in for a good time.

Glamour and celebrity go hand in hand at Refuel Bar at the Soho Hotel. Relaxed yet knowingly desirable, the bar is split into a formal dining area and an informal lounge where the cocktails flow.

ME is a newbie for London but thanks to its location in the heart of Covent Garden, along with the views from the Radio Rooftop Bar, it is bound to become a classic. Gaze down on Tower Bridge, St. Paul’s and Tate Modern from the 10th floor bar that oozes with star quality.

The thing about hotel bars is that they’re often a total juxtaposition to the venue that they slot into, which is why they are so interesting. At the Zetter Townhouse the opposite is true as the bar in the lobby area presents the penchant for contemporary style that continues up into the hotel’s rooms. With cocktail king Tony Conigliaro consulting, the stuffed animal heads and modern art won’t be the only things to talk about.
