Alexander's Bar

The beloved 18th century tapestry of Alexander the Great is the focal point of the beloved Alexander’s Bar. With its clubby atmosphere and impressive walk-in cigar humidor, you will want to linger over a classic cocktail, brandy, or exquisite cognac.

There are many reasons why the famous Alexander’s bar was voted the Best Hotel Bar in the world by Forbes magazine, starting with its undeniably warm and relaxing atmosphere. The rare 18th century tapestry of Alexander the Great’s entrance into Gavgamila is a trademark fixture of the hotel—and hangs with pride behind the gleaming wood bar for all to admire.

Once you take a seat on one of the comfortable leather stools, our team of genuinely friendly bartenders will dazzle you with their exceptional knowledge of popular and obscure drinks from around the world. The staggering selection of premium spirits displayed behind them—many of the bottles exclusive to the Hotel Grande Bretagne—is worth a visit alone.

The equally impressive drinks menu includes such connoisseur choices of the famous extra rare single malt Macallan series of 1937, 1940, 1946, 1952, 1969, 1973, and the astonishing Luis XIII Black Perl edition. Be sure to experience a glass of exotic Midori liqueur over ice, since you will not be able to find it anywhere else. If cognac or brandy is your nightcap of choice, the Carlos Primero Grande Reserva brandy and the complete range of Hennesey cognacs, including the rare Paradis and Richard Hennesey labels, never fail to delight with their smooth finish and rich golden colour.

Alexander’s Bar signature mixed drink—the Mandarin Napoleon Select—also deserves your attention for its surprising blend of Dubonnet Rouge, Grand Marnier, gin and fragrant essential oil of Sicilian tangerines.
