well-made martini is hard to come by. In New
York, few spots can out mix the mixologists you’ll find
flanking the counter at the city’s most notable hotel
bars. Populated by a discerning clientele – of cosmopolitan
hotel residents and unimpressible locals alike – these go-to
drinking spots will stir your night right up.

The Library at The NoMad Hotel
NoMad
Book in one hand, crystal-cut glass in the other, you can nab a nook at The Library at The NoMad Hotel and bare down for the evening.
bar
The Bowery Lobby at The Bowery Hotel
NoHo
Don’t dismiss a suggestion of drinks in “the lobby” too quickly; at The Bowery opinions of draughty hotel lobbies are flipped thanks to strong cocktails and fireside seating (on a carpeted pouf no less).
