Joséphine

A sense of old Paris still lingers here, but the room never feels frozen in time. Named for Joséphine Baker and set inside the Lutetia, this is a grand hotel bar with real character, from its restored Art Deco details to the quiet confidence of the service. Cocktails are the main draw, with a polished style that suits the setting without feeling stiff. It is the kind of place that works equally well for a celebratory drink or a long, unhurried evening. If you want elegance on the Left Bank with a little history in the background, this is an easy choice.
