The Best Cocktail Bars in Paris

"A mythical party venue in the 1980s, the former Bains Douches nightclub has since been converted into a chic hotel. It is still an excellent place to sip an inspired cocktail however, in an atmosphere that oscillates between serene and feverish. As you enter the bar, your eyes will be drawn to the stunning purple ('roxo' in Portuguese), egg-shaped ceiling, shown off to its best advantage by the black and white chequered floor. As for the drinks, mixologists kitted out in leather aprons deliver subtle creations, some inspired by the Les Bains Guerbois fragrance range, created in homage to the thermal baths that were housed here in the 19th century. Tart and thirst quenching, the Roxo Gin Tonic is spiced up with Timut pepper; or perhaps you'll prefer the flavours of a Stockholm Syndrome, one of their signatures." - The MICHELIN Guide
