Bars: The Fumoir at Claridge’s

The best thing about Claridge’s Fumoir is its size; accommodating just 12 at cosy tables and a horseshoe bar makes it perfect for intimate occasions. Despite its name, the no-smoking Fumoir captures the hotel’s Art Deco splendour in sumptuous style with aubergine velvet upholstery, etched glass panels, vintage fashion photographs and cocktails served in Lalique glasses. Done with admiring the décor? Then turn your attention to the celebrities at the next table; after Melrose Avenue it’s Hollywood’s favourite hangout.
