The Dorchester had a big refurb in 2023, part of which was the transformation of The Bar at The Dorchester into Vesper Bar. Redesigned by Martin Brudnizki as an ode to the glamour and style of the 1930s, and to the hotel’s links with James Bond, the ornate interior includes a ’30s palladium leaf ceiling, art deco carpets, rich furnishings and a cosy snug. The cocktail menu features a mix of both classic drinks and signature serves inspired by the hotel – and martinis, of course, with The Vesper Martini being a thing of beauty. Dress up and pretend you’re 007 for the night.
