The 13 Best Hotel Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"You will feel more chic, and more interesting, just for having walked into the Lobby Bar at the Hotel Chelsea. Despite opening in 2022, this is the kind of instant institution that feels like it's been here forever. Lobby Bar is like a plush, swanky living room with a marble bar and vintage chandeliers, plus solarium spaces filled with plants. The Dukes Martini is a stunner, but it's no joke: Your server will rinse your glass with vermouth tableside, then fill it with your choice of Tanqueray or Ketel, bottles frozen in blocks of ice. There's a reason why patrons are limited to ordering two—make sure to line your stomach with the free bar snack mix." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, will hartman, tiffany yannetta
