Charles H

Seoul, South Korea

• The Best Bar in Korea 2020, sponsored by Mancino Vermouth

The outstanding Charles H, on the lower level of Seoul’s Four Seasons hotel, pays tribute to early 20th century writer and bon vivant Charles H Baker Jr, author of essential cocktail book, The Gentleman's Companion. Helmed by the ever-dapper Keith Motsi, the bar improves year on year under his talented bar-stewardship. Taking a cue from the Victorian Era, Charles H weaves together the dark, subterranean feel of New York Prohibition-era speakeasies with a sense of luxury and glamour via etched brass tabletops and an expansive 7m tapestry modelled after braided hairstyles from Korea’s Imperial family. Charles H is The Best Bar in Korea 2020, sponsored by Mancino Vermouth.
