Manetta’s Bar

Reviving the name of the original hang-out at Flemings back in the 1930s, the plush bar recaptures the surreptitious spirit of a place where spies used to swap secrets and clandestine trysts took place. A dark and sultry colour palette of black upholstery, polished rose gold detailing and jewel red hints in tactile materials of soft velvet and supple leather exude sophisticated opulence. For negroni aficionados in dark and in cosy corners, cute couples can explore the impressive menu of seven libations including the chocolate Negroni featuring: Portobello Road No. 171 Gin, Campari, Crème de Cacao white and Dolin Rouge.
