Overview
Bar Joséphine is a celebration of Parisian heritage and artistic flair, housed in the iconic Lutetia hotel on the Left Bank. It blends classic luxury with modern creativity, offering an atmosphere that is equal parts sophisticated and soulful.
The space is steeped in historical charm, featuring high ceilings, original frescoes, plush velvet seating, and gold-leaf accents that nod to the Belle Époque. Yet, there’s nothing outdated here — the vibe is fresh, elegant, and alive with the rhythm of Saint-Germain. Live jazz or soft DJ sets often underscore the energy, giving the bar an effortlessly chic backdrop for conversation, cocktails, or late-evening relaxation.
The drinks menu is crafted with precision and artistic flair. Expect a balance of timeless classics and original creations, many of which are inspired by the legacy of Joséphine Baker. Seasonal ingredients, luxury spirits, and a flair for presentation define the cocktail list. For those seeking something truly special, rare Champagnes and vintage cognacs are available, adding to the refined allure.
Bar Joséphine also offers light food pairings and upscale bar snacks — ideal for pre-dinner aperitifs or a late-night rendezvous. The service is polished yet friendly, matching the five-star surroundings without feeling inaccessible.
It’s the perfect setting for hotel guests, visiting celebrities, business travelers, and Parisian locals who appreciate an elegant escape with a touch of jazz and history.
