Le Bar Américain

In the heart of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, a legendary bar: Le Bar Américain. Two closely linked destinies sharing the same idea of pleasure and elegance.

Wood, velvet, leather armchairs with a patina, refined lighting: the Bar Américain at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo plays a glamorous and unique score. There's something here that you can't find anywhere else: a special charm, a jazzy atmosphere, a touch of the romantic. To enter this timeless place is to push open the doors of the imagination. A palatial bar that has played host to some of the world's biggest stars.

Since the 1930s, the whole world has been meeting here. This is table 34, where Frank Sinatra used to hang out. When Joséphine Baker arrived in Monaco, she put on a show for a party organised for the Prince de Polignac. Lady Gaga improvised a memorable musical interlude. But also Edith Piaf, Romy Schneider, Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant, the eclecticism of talented artists whose photos are displayed on the walls of the Bar.

Between iconic and signature cocktails

The fresh tangerine of Pulcinella, the pear and cardamom duo of Pira Villosum, exceptional wines and spirits, homemade cordials and liqueurs... at the American Bar of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, mixology is an art. A virtuoso, the Head Barman revisits the classics with mischief, dreams up daring creations, mixes textures and flavours, and plays with impertinent combinations.

A show that never stops

Within its walls, music occupies a special place. The Bar Américain is one of the few hotel bars in the world where musicians play live every evening. Jazz, swing, blues, soul & vocals, the programme is constantly being renewed, and the proximity to the artists never ceases to seduce music lovers.

And the show is played out both on stage and backstage. At any time of day, the staff welcome guests with panache. Every detail counts: presentation, service, glassware. It is a place of surprises and pleasure of the senses.
