The Arch Bar
London-Mayfair
May 11, 2018
The Lobby Bar at the InterContinental has been re-invented as The Arch. Blessed with views of the iconic Wellington Arch, it’s a handsome space if very overtly a hotel bar and not over-burdened by atmosphere. The bar itself has the best views and provides a ring-side seat for watching the bartenders in action. The cocktail menu is gin-centric and includes such treats as the Old Time Tipple made with basil-infused gin. There are a few drinks for the gin-phobic, including a Champagne Granita, and an imaginative wine list. Prices are in keeping with the hotel bar vibe. Occasional live music promises to warm the place up.
