Europe’s Top 10 Hotel Bars

1. Paris: Wilde’s at L’Hotel Named after the one and only Oscar Wilde who lived (and died) at the hotel, the bar named in his honor is one of Paris’ best kept secrets. With a mostly local crowd, this beautiful bar in the heart of St. Germain des Pres offers some of the best cocktails in the city with live music on Thursdays.
2. London: The Connaught Bar at The Connaught Hotel The ultimate in elegance and grace, The Connaught bar feels like a private members only club. The cocktail menu is exceptional, with the mixologists blending what is the hands down, the best martini in the city.
3. Rome: La Libreria at the Hotel Eden Intimate and elegant, La Libreria is a bar where people go to enjoy a cozy, private setting, feeling like you’re in a private library or sitting room.  Located steps above the lobby, this “secret” (we won’t spoil the surprise) bar is an experience unto itself.
4. Athens: Electra Roof Garden at the Electric Palace Hotel With views of the city and the Acropolis so close you feel you can reach out and touch it, the Electra Roof Garden bar is a breathtaking oasis in the city.
