Best Hotel Bars in Europe

Europe's grand hotels wrote the rules for the hotel bar, and the best hotel bars in Europe sell service as well as drinks. Connaught Bar at The Connaught in Mayfair, famed for its martini trolley, was No. 1 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2021. Mirror Bar, in Bratislava's Radisson Blu Carlton Hotel, won the Michter's Art of Hospitality Award at Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026 and was No. 25 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2025, with Scarfes Bar at Rosewood London at No. 31. Kyara mixes perfume-style accords on the fifth floor of SLS Barcelona, and Nimb Bar pours under chandeliers in Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens. Connaught Bar takes no reservations. These are the bars we would start with.
