The Connaught Bar is the best bar in the world with Franco, Giorgio and the team. I love a good martini there.

For an intimate celebration, I would go for drinks at The Connaught Bar, then eat at Hélène Darroze at The Connaught.

The Connaught is such a classic. The hotel itself is beautiful and you have two world class venues here: Hélène Darroze and The Connaught Bar. I like going here for martinis; the service is like none other.

My wife and I often go there on Friday nights for a couple of cocktails. I love that you can choose to be fancy or relax and snuggle into the hidden-away pink bar [Red Room] for a more chilled evening.

Not only is it great cocktails, but you're gonna get looked after, made to feel like a million bucks.
