Bar Hemingway

Old-world elegance infused with cocktail mastery

Hidden within The Ritz, the Hemingway Bar exudes vintage charm, literary nods, and masterfully crafted cocktails by world-renowned mixologist Colin Field.

Hidden away in a corner of The Ritz Paris, the Hemingway Bar is a legendary hideaway that pays homage to the writer who famously declared the hotel “a moveable feast.” Stepping into the bar feels like entering a time capsule of timeless elegance, with its cozy leather armchairs, warm wood paneling, and walls adorned with photographs and memorabilia celebrating Hemingway’s life.

The true charm of the Hemingway Bar lies in its cocktails, many of which are inspired by its namesake. Bartender extraordinaire Colin Field, often touted as one of the world’s best, crafts bespoke drinks with unparalleled artistry. For a unique experience, order the Serendipity—a crisp mix of Calvados, mint, apple juice, and champagne, known as Field’s signature creation. France in a glass!
