A secret little cocktail bar

At the rear of the cheerfully-tiled lobby, is the hotel’s best kept secret. The Parisian-style Deco Room with its wrought-iron entry gate is the place to head to for a stylish afternoon tea when your legs are tired from browsing the boutiques of the Village and neighbouring Soho, or a late night tête-à-tête over a martini or two.

The downstairs bar and lounge is a livelier – sometimes positively jumping – space, popular with locals and guests alike and where conversation flows easily. The bartenders take time to stop and chat, the snack menu is excellent and the prices are reasonable, considering where we are. If you’re here on a Sunday, consider hanging around for the Jazz Brunch. It’s where Norah Jones got her first big break, after slipping a demo tape to the owners when she worked here as a waitress. They were so impressed, they let her sing, and that was the end of her waiting career.
