The Fumoir
Classic, intimate bar at Claridge’s

With its 1930s-inspired decor, low-hanging crystal lighting, comfortable leather seating and vintage photography displayed on the walls, The Fumoir, lined in claret velvet, is a gem at Claridge’s Hotel, and a more intimate proposition than the popular main bar. Perfect as a meeting place for a pre-dinner aperitif or an evening nightcap, The Fumoir is also the place to rediscover long forgotten and era-defining cocktails, or to try a twist on an old classic. With just enough space to fit in 12 guests, this bar becomes all the more exclusive and charming.
