The Best Hotel Bars in NYC, From Classic Martini Haunts to Rooftops With Central Park Views | Condé Nast Traveler

"When the Ritz-Carlton opened a second location in the NoMad neighborhood a few years back, the aesthetic declaration was modish and decidedly downtown—dark and textured, almost like a nightclub. The Spanish words for “cloud” (nube) and “light” (luz) combine to give the sultry rooftop cocktail bar on top of it all its name. 270-degree views of the New York City skyline, deep booths bedecked in ruby and salmon velvet, and a wraparound terrace make this a comfortable place from which to watch the city move below and the city's power players mill about, while pedigree from José Andrés (and a bar menu to match—there's a $75 Jamón Ibérico de Bellota Cinco Jotas) makes things feel all the swanker." - CNT Editors
