St. James Bar at Sofitel St. James

Editorial Review

The fully revamped bar at the Sofitel St. James takes inspiration from Coco Chanel's 1920's Paris apartment, with a gold-studded ceiling, blue mohair banquettes, and an amethyst-topped bar. Expect cocktails from antique recipe books, plus 70 types of fizz, with advice from a "champagne angel," a.k.a. sommelier. Guests typically belong to the Royal Institute of International Affairs or work for such people. Victorian-era building, three blocks from Trafalgar Square. Open evenings-only.
