"The first hurdle to entry at this hotel bar is to know someone — Rarities bookings are invitation-only, though a reservation in one of the hotel’s suites (which can run you upwards of four figures) will also gain you access. If you can snag a seat, drinkers can select something exclusive, elusive, or well-aged — perhaps a flight of Pappy Van Winkle, or would you prefer your spirits pre-prohibition?" - Kate Dingwall
