Rash of luxury bars opens across London

Luxury hotel bars in London are all the rage.

The refurbished Four Seasons Hotel on Park Lane, is to open tomorrow, and W Hotel opens next month. Bars offering champagne for £16 a glass and cocktails for more than £20 – such as the newly opened American Bar at the Savoy – are attracting queues despite the cost. ReardonSmith, the architects which led the design team at both Four Seasons and The Savoy, says bars are a top priority.
