Atrium Bar

Afternoon tea is freshly made sandwiches, scones, macarons and pastries, with a pot of tea or a glass of champagne.

It is served from 4 to 6, and it needs booking 48 hours ahead.

In the evening the signature list takes over, and each of its 8 drinks starts from a plate of food. The list is called The Tasting Globe, and the dishes come from the life of Paolo Lavezzini, the executive chef, from anolini in brodo to brigadeiro. Edoardo Sandri, the head mixologist, is a Florentine who joined the hotel in 2008, and he likes an unexpected ingredient: whisky with chicken broth under a Parmesan foam, or gin with oyster leaf and spheres of Pedro Ximénez sherry vinegar.

If you would rather keep it classic, the Vintage negroni is aged in the barrel. The kitchen serves until half past midnight, from 10 grams of caviar to spaghetti with clams and a tiramisù. In winter there is live music, and children are given colourful mocktails of their own.
