Bar Hemingway

Intimate cocktail bar inside the Ritz Paris on Place Vendôme, renamed for Ernest Hemingway’s long association with the hotel and still fitted with memorabilia in a room of roughly twenty-five seats. The Ritz currently lists service daily from 5:00 p.m. to midnight with no reservation required, so early arrival matters on busy nights; smart dress is enforced. Tapas service has its own shorter window on the hotel’s dining pages. Useful during Art Basel Paris week if you want a small hotel bar rather than a large cocktail theatre—budget time for a possible wait at the door.
