A Storied Parisian Icon

Bar Hemingway, nestled within the Ritz Paris, is a legendary cocktail bar that captures the spirit of Ernest Hemingway and his time in the City of Light. With just 25 seats, its unchanged décor, handwritten letters, and mementos of the great writer create an atmosphere brimming with authenticity, romance, and nostalgia.

The bar is a haven for Hemingway enthusiasts, where upholstered leather seats and sepia lighting evoke the charm of a bygone era. Conversations flow as smoothly as the cocktails, accompanied by the gentle sound of ice cubes in glasses. Music is absent, leaving room for the hum of stories being shared and connections being made.

Anne-Sophie Prestail, the bar’s talented mixologist, masterfully crafts both classic and bespoke cocktails, tailoring each creation to her guests’ desires. Iconic drinks like the Serendipity and Dry Martini are must-tries, embodying the bar’s storied heritage and creative spirit.

Ernest Hemingway once declared, “When I dream of afterlife in heaven, the action always takes place at the Ritz Paris.” Bar Hemingway reflects that sentiment, offering a timeless escape where visitors can sip, reflect, and soak in the ambiance of Parisian elegance, steeped in literary history.
