Union baron Len McCluskey snapped relaxing at 1,200-a-night Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo
UNION head and key Jeremy Corbyn supporter Len McCluskey has been snapped kicking back at a £1,200-a-night hotel in Monte Carlo.
The Unite general secretary and ex-dock worker was photographed drinking wine with his friends at infamous Le Bar Américain at the five-star Hotel de Paris.
Guides describe the bar’s “elegant low-key ambiance” and ample leather seating with the “air of a 1920s speakeasy” as a “perfect fit for the characters of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel”.
The bar’s enviable wine list includes a Jeroboam of Dom Perignon Rose champagne, vintage 2000, priced at £12,800, while an everyday bottle of beer will set patrons back £13.
A 50g selection of caviar costs £224.
The Hotel de Paris is home to two Michelin-starred restaurants – one of which boasts a wine cellar capable of storing 400,000 bottles, and overlooks the Mediterranean.

The trip comes after Mr McCluskey has received considerable attention in the mainstream media as one of Jeremy Corbyn’s staunchest supporters during Labour’s leadership battle.
He has repeatedly defended the left-wing leader’s right to remain as head of the party, condemning MPs attempting to overthrow him.
Unite gifted the Labour Party approximately £19million in the last parliament, and has formally endorsed Corbyn for the leadership this summer.
Speaking on his colleague, Tory MP Stuart Andrew said: “While his fellow trade unionists are crippling our rail services with strikes, Red Len is enjoying the high life – it’s clearly Monte Carlo or bust for McCluskey.”
A spokesman for Unite said that Mr McCluskey was in Monte Carlo attending a private event that the union did not pay for.
