Hotel website says this: The Luggage Room
"Tucked away in the corner of Grosvenor Square, The Luggage Room draws on the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. It’s an intimate London Cocktail bar, effortlessly oozing style and decadence. Amid the fine liquor displays, handmade wine cabinets and period curiosities, you can watch while cobblers, cups and punches are carefully created around you.In the 1920s the infamous ‘Bentley Boys’ would turn heads in glamorous Mayfair. Bars would buzz to the sound of jazz and the in-crowd would sip Highballs and Martinis in their own inimitable style. Crafted to charm and delight our Mayfair bar has a nod towards the nostalgia for the past with its feet firmly in the present."

Sounds interesting.

Cheers.
I'm at the Park Lane starting late next week. Another guy on this trip is at the Square and he's said it's sort of like the bar at The Dukes (supposedly an Ian Fleming hangout, classic martinis et al). So I'll be over there to check out the Luggage Room & report back.
