THE LIBRARY BAR Welcome to one of the capital's most celebrated cocktail and spirit destinations – distinguished by its outstanding mixology and venerable "liquid museum". We offer the warm and intimate atmosphere of a private club accompanied by a vibrant ambiance that makes it a popular choice to enjoy drinking and socialising. The Lanesborough has long been known for its impressive Cognac collection, spanning over 300 years of history. In 2018, Bar Manager Mickael Perron curated a new whisky collection to include single malts to appeal to every guest, from whisky novices to seasoned connoisseurs, ranging from classic Speyside single malts to collectible and extremely rare bottles. This year, we are exited to introduce you to more beautifully crafted spirits and exciting flavours. If we can be of any further assistance, please speak to a member of the bar team.
