In Focus: DUKES Bar, St. James’s

For generations, DUKES Bar has welcomed everyone from well-heeled London locals, young professionals and tourists, to celebrities and members of the Royal Family. People travel far and wide to experience the famously-iconic DUKES Martini.

A country house in the heart of London, with Green Park and St James’s Park as its back garden, DUKES LONDON’s Victorian exterior evokes a time when artists and writers rubbed shoulders with royalty in fashionable St. James, London. Upstairs in the hotel, you’ll find elegant rooms and suites boasting lavish furnishings and the latest technology. Downstairs is home to Great British Restaurant (GBR) serving up seasonal British cuisine, and the DUKES Bar, famous world-over for its Martinis.

According to DUKES Bar’s Head Bartender, Alessandro Palazzi, the secret to the best Martini is in the execution. The DUKES Martini is prepared table-side on a Rosewood trolley – neither shaken nor stirred, but free-poured. Visit DUKES Bar for beautiful Snow Queen Vodka martinis, made by the experts.
