Notable names include the now King Charles III, Frank Sinatra, Madonna, Beyoncé, Dame Anna Wintour, Dame Joan Collins and Kate Moss.
Harry’s Bar continues to build on its reputation through collaborations with distinguished establishments such as The Alpina Gstaad and Les Airelles Courchevel in early 2024. Members and their guests are experiencing the much-loved table-side service and long-understood exceptional attention to detail within the club.
