190 Bar's friendly but not very slick (on our visit at least) staff preside over a long, clean, beautifully backlit bar, reminiscent of the one Jack Nicholson steps up to in The Shining. The extensive drinks list includes 16 varieties of brandy and 15 of champagne (including the cheeky little Louis Roederer Cristal magnum at £550), though given that this is a five-star hotel we were a little put out to find the white wine served at only a few degrees below room temperature. American tourists and bright young things pop up everywhere at 190 Bar.
