Jazz has inhabited the glittering halls filled with flappers, as described by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and the smoky bars frequented Raymond Chandler’s gangsters. A few months ago it settled down in the Banker’s Bar at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Barcelona. In this exclusive space, the rhythmic beat of a drum, the sigh of a tenor saxophone or the deep notes of a velvety voice mix with gin and tonic in the weekly Gin&Jazz sessions.

The ceiling of the Banker’s Bar is decorated the original safes from the building’s former past as a bank. It is a vibrant nightlife space with a spectacular design and subtle lighting that brings out the most deep of conversations. Its cocktail menu includes classic and modern combinations created especially for the bar, such as the “Martini Bankers” or the “Stroll under the moonlight”. The wine, champagne and cava offerings are nothing to be scoffed at, as is its variety of exquisite tapas.

Wednesday nights you have a date with the elegance of the Banker’s Bar at Mandarin Oriental Hotel, with the flavours of its cocktails — and with all that jazz.
