They are all still there, the old leather-bound books, the winding staircase and the venerable coffered ceiling of the library that once belonged to Foundation Thiers students, as is the muted, typically British atmosphere. But there is something else, something modern.
Laura Gonzalez has preserved the iconic elements of the décor—wood panelling, cosy velvets and time-worn leathers–but has softened the edges with a gentle touch. The bar counter stands out against a background of omnipresent greenery while patterns and prints blend seamlessly into the decor, from thick Iranian-patterned rugs to Indian cashmeres. It is the ideal setting for a quick lunch or a personalised cocktail, shaken to perfection by the master mixologists of the Saint James.
In summer, a second bar is set under the graceful pergola in the garden and cocktails are shaken al fresco!
