The Blue Bar Hotel Bar / Restaurant

Mayfair / Knightsbridge, London –

Mirroring the same luxury standards as The Berkeley Hotel’s five-star accommodations and service, The Blue Bar is an in-house drinking den where both hotel guests and affluent visitors indulge in cocktails and caviar.

Titanic in grandeur yet more like a submarine in layout, the venue retains an air of exclusivity with its network of small chambers and intimate lounging quarters, perfect for the stylish socialites and successful professionals looking for a touch of privacy.

Awash in blue and featuring convex mirrors that cast a fisheye reflection around the space, the bar hints at a nautical theme, while a daring mix of renaissance wainscoting, gothic flourishes, art deco rugs, and sci-fi lamp shades create an eclectic and somehow timeless atmosphere.

Floor-to-ceiling windows add to the elegant grandeur, as courting couples, slick alpha males, and professional stylists and business types mingle at the bar or perch on backless lounge stools like marble statutes, their cocktails cluttering the dainty round tables.

Although the gracious Blue Bar welcomes any well-dressed guest, its white-collar prices have made it an easy choice for professionals looking to spend a few hours in the lap of luxury.
