Blue hour Paris through rain-spotted glass with zinc rooftops and cafe glow

Bar 228

cocktail·$$$$·1st

The intimate bar of Le Meurice, carrying the surrealist legacy of Salvador Dalí, who lived in the palace hotel for years and left his mark on the décor. Smaller and more personal than the Ritz's grand room, it pairs palace-level precision with Dalí-designed surroundings and views over the Tuileries. Order the Dalí cocktail or a faultless Martini, ideally in the late afternoon when light fills the room. Dress the part. It is one of the few places in Paris where genuine surrealism and genuine hotel-bar craft occupy the same small, storied space.
