Bar Hemingway

About

Bar Hemingway – a tiny, legendary speake‑style venue tucked behind the Ritz’s famed 38 Rue Cambon façade – continues to captivate visitors with its intimate, musically‑quiet ambiance and historic flair. Designed to resemble a private members’ club, the bar features tufted leather armchairs, a curated library, rare photographs, and an old‑fashioned typewriter that evoke Hemingway’s cosmopolitan legacy. With only 25 seats, it attracts an international crowd of literary aficionados, cocktail connoisseurs, and curious tourists keen to taste the famed Bloody Mary, rumored to have been invented here. The bar’s vintage décor, discreet corners, and sophisticated cocktails make it a must‑visit for those seeking a blend of Parisian elegance and literary charm.
