"It’s impossible to say how many litres of paint this gloriously OTT bar went through to achieve its coral-first aesthetic, but we appreciate The Bloomsbury Hotel’s commitment to colour-blocking. By day, the room plays host to finger sandwiches and raised pinkies for afternoon tea, then steadily fills with thirsty champs enthusiasts come evening. The cocktail menu changes regularly but know that requesting a classic French 75 while sitting under a Murano chandelier just makes sense." - heidi lauth beasley
