The Connaught's Coburg Bar has been superbly updated, the handiwork of Parisian based designer, India Mahdavi. Wood panelled interiors and antique pieces are counterbalanced by modern art works by Julian Opie, plush velvet and leather seats and geometric print carpet. Cocktails at £12 are expertly made - an apple martini, for example, uses the hotel's home-marinated cinnamon, pear and apple liqueur. No wonder this bar was voted the 'Best bar in London' by Time Out in 2008. Film stars Sharon Stone and Lauren Bacall are among the celebrities who have sampled the Connaught's delights and its traditional Mayfair grandeur continues to charm in a way that's absolutely up-to-date.
