9 Hotels With Cocktail Bars You Shouldn't Miss
These Manhattan and Brooklyn hotel bars are so much more than the typical anonymous watering hole stuffed into the corner of a local Hyatt. They're storied cocktail destinations, beloved by travelers and locals alike.
The Kitano
Why it made the list
If you'd like a side of jazz with your martini, pull up a stool at the bar in the Kitano. This space is known as one of New York’s premier jazz destinations, with music offered up seven days a week.
NOMO SOHO
Why it made the list
One of New York’s more glamorous hotel watering holes is found in SoHo--NoMo Kitchen is set under glass in a greenhouse-like space, with a long bar beneath sparkling chandeliers.
Mandarin Oriental
Why it made the list
The lobby lounge is an elegant space for drinks and Central Park views, while MObar, on the 35th floor, is a more intimate cocktail destination.
Iroquois New York
Why it made the list
Classic cocktail parlor traditions of comfort and service are alive and well at Lantern’s Keep, tucked away behind the lobby. If you want a guaranteed seat, be sure to reserve a table in advance--this place is popular.
The St. Regis
Why it made the list
The King Cole Bar is one of Manhattan’s most historic and cherished bars--and it's located right smack-dab in the lobby of this luxury hotel. Get dressed up and blow your budget on their signature Bloody Mary. It's worth it.
Andaz 5th Avenue

Beneath the buzz of Midtown East, a cocktail bar called The Bar Downstairs shakes and stirs seasonal drinks, including creative non-alcoholic varieties (if that's your thing).

Why it made the list
The Ides Bar is located on the sixth floor of this stylish Williamsburg boutique hotel. You can sip specialty cocktails indoors or outdoors in the roof lounge, while also feasting your eyes on some unobstructed and beautiful Manhattan skyline views.
Gramercy Park Hotel
Why it made the list
Two sophisticated choices--the Rose Bar and the Jade Bar--draw a fashionable crowd seeking finely mixed drinks, intimate live music sessions, and the property’s renowned art collection.
The NoMad Hotel
Why it made the list
When a stiff drink is in order, the NoMad Hotel offers not one, but three attractive options: the cozy Library, where cocktails are sipped on plush couches; the sleek Elephant Bar, with its long, mahogany countertop; and the tavern-inspired NoMad Bar. You can conveniently try them all, because they're all under the same roof.
