The inaugural Forbes Travel Guide Star Bars for 2025 has named The Pine Bar as one of the Best Hotel Bars 2025 in Europe, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

Part of the Forbes Travel Guide (FTG), the Hotel Star Bars list honours the world’s most exceptional hotel bar experiences. FTG inspectors went incognito to each bar, sampling cocktails on multiple visits. The winners were then determined based on data collected as part of the ratings.

According to highlighted noted by FTG inspectors, “The Pine Bar is a sumptuous feast of red and pink velvet stocked with more than 100 whiskies, some dating back to the 1920s. Be guided by the trolley selection or savor interesting cocktails such as the Major Oak, a bourbon- and truffle-spiked ode to Sherwood Forest. Look out for the original Matisse on the right-hand wall as you walk in.”
