"If you’re wondering where the who’s who of 1920s Paris came to drink and see and be seen, head to this institution inside the Ritz. Bar Hemingway looks like a cross between a smoker’s lounge and a fancy chateau library with photos of its namesake author, old fishing poles, and boxing gloves. Classic cocktails (€25-€36), heavy on whisky, are what you should order here. Thanks to its history, this place attracts a multigenerational mix of tourists, business people, and gray-haired folks rocking blazers with elbow patches. Arrive just at or a little before opening hours, or prepare to wait in line for a seat at the bar or one of the few round tables (there’s only room for about 30 people). There are bar snacks and light bites like miniature hot dogs, but no music, so you won’t want to linger." - Tanisha Townsend
