"Nothing exudes Art-Deco elegance quite like sipping a Ketel One cocktail in this historic gem from the early 1940s. Enjoy your drink while lounging beside the National’s iconic 205-foot-long infinity pool or on a daybed at the beach club. Don’t miss the holiday pop-up bar in the lobby, complete with themed decor and holiday music. When night falls, slip into the hotel’s art-adorned speakeasy and curl up in a dimly lit banquette. It’s the ideal spot to imagine yourself in a bygone era, sipping a Hibiscus Beauty made with hibiscus-infused Ketel One vodka, elderflower liqueur, ginger syrup, and lemon juice." - Matthew Meltzer
