Blue Cigar, Writer’s Lounge

There’s a sense of timeless sophistication in our Blue Cigar lounge, where unexpected cultural encounters beckon in those who seek out the finest stories, to be later called up and recalled with renewed wonder. Craftmanship and authenticity are at the very heart of every Blue Cigar experience, which showcases immersive, raw luxury at its very finest.

Created to further elevate this unique experience, select one of the finest Cuban tobaccos in the world, sourced from Fidel Castro’s own stock, and one our experienced rollers will craft a cigar for you alone.

Pair it with a rare whisky, smoky cocktail or alcohol free drink, or choose from our Latin American inspired menu, and savour dishes that are a work of art in their own right, then let the notes from the local music cascade over you, sink into a leather armchair and settle in for the evening.

The exquisite Writers Lounge is where old narratives come to life in imaginative and inspiring ways. Leaf through priceless first edition books that take place of honor on the hallowed library shelves. Select a pre-loved classic that tells its own unique story through its glorious imperfections – handwritten notes inserted in pages that have spoken to a previous owner, a coffee stain from a late-night reader, or a well-worn cover of a book that has been lovingly passed down through generations.

Recline in centuries-old leather armchairs, lose yourself in a novel and then order a bespoke dining and drinking experience that has been inspired by the story-line.

One floor above lies a captivating and vivacious world which moves to the DJ’s beat.
