Le Bar at Four Seasons Hotel George V

Nestled within the iconic Four Seasons Hotel George V on Avenue George V in Paris’ 8th arrondissement, Le Bar offers a refined cocktail experience where tradition meets contemporary bar craft. From the moment you enter, the ambience is one of understated grandeur: plush seating, muted lighting, gleaming bar surfaces and a calm soundtrack that lets conversation flow. According to reviews it’s described as “the place to be for Parisians to share intimate conversations around delicious cocktails and light fares”. The cocktail menu itself is a testament to craftsmanship and luxury. Signature creations such as the “George V Negroni” (grapefruit-infused Hendrick’s gin, Punt e Mes, Campari) and delicate creations like the “Café Croissant” (tequila-infused with lychee purée and croissant syrup) offer serious flavour profiles in an elegant format. Prices start in the high-€30s for classic cocktails, with prestige bottles and rare spirits scaling much higher. While Le Bar appeals to hotel guests, it is also frequented by locals and style-conscious outsiders. It’s an excellent choice for a pre-dinner drink before hitting the restaurants in the hotel (including the Michelin-starred venues within the property), or for a relaxed yet luxurious nightcap after enjoying the Paris evening. The service is polished and attentive, which makes it comfortable whether you’re by yourself at the bar or with company in a booth. The dress code leans smart-casual: jackets, elegant tops and shoes are appropriate. It isn’t flashy nightlife, but rather refined lounge territory—ideal if you’re in Paris for a more elevated bar experience. In short: If you want a cocktail bar that blends high-end hotel service, creative mixology and Parisian elegance, Le Bar at the Four Seasons George V is very much in that sweet spot.
