The Hôtel Balzac bar for a refined drink

Nestled just a stone’s throw from the Champs-Élysées, Hôtel Balzac, Bertrand Hospitality’s latest jewel, embodies the perfect marriage of Parisian tradition and modern elegance.

The intimate and the literary

Away from the hustle and bustle of Paris, the Hôtel Balzac bar offers a hushed atmosphere reminiscent of the famous speakeasys. Julien Quettier, Executive Chef Barman, offers a cocktail menu designed as a tribute to Balzac and his work. Each recipe reflects the elegance and depth of his writings, with carefully selected ingredients.

Among the flagship creations, “Comédie Humaine“, a balanced cocktail, combines sweet potato shochu, kiwi purée, jasmine syrup and a touch of matcha. “Illusion Perdue”, meanwhile, seduces with its smoky, exotic notes, blending Mezcal, umami vermouth and Malabar pepper. These cocktails, served with meticulous presentation, plunge guests into the reminiscence of another Paris.
