Especially in the hotel bars you can feel the pulsating life of the travelers - you can end the day, plan for tomorrow and enjoy the unique flair with a delicious cocktail. Because: Nobody can refuse a glass in honor - we have the most beautiful hotel bars around the globe! 

Ozone at the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong

High-end cocktails in the truest sense of the word are available in the world's highest bar: Floor 118 of the 484-metre-high ICC Tower is home to the bar of the five-star hotel Ritz-Carlton. A happy hour couldn't be more exclusive: cocktails from the pros and a view that is second to none. Besides drinks, tapas and hot DJ beats are waiting to make the evening unforgettable.

Gilt Lounge at the QT Hotel, Sydney

The Gilt Lounge is reminiscent of a visit to the theatre. The boutique hotel "QT" is located in the historic "Gowing and State Theatre" in Sydney - the theatre vibe can also be felt in the lounge: red velvet curtains and comfortable armchairs underline the ambience while Australian high society meets for an evening cocktail. 

American Bar at The Savoy Hotel, London

The American Bar is located in The Savoy, probably the most famous hotel in the heart of London. It is the oldest cocktail bar still in existence in the English capital and serves various drinks from the 1920s alongside modern cocktails. A must-visit in London! 

Oriental Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo

The Oriental Lounge offers an unobstructed view of the famous Mount Fuji from the 38th floor. In true Mandarin Oriental style, you'll not only get your money's worth here in terms of drinks, but also culinary delights: for example, a "Classic Waguy Cheese Burger". 

Pulitzer's Bar at Pulitzer's Hotel, Amsterdam

Pulitzer's Hotel Bar is a wonderfully timeless classic. In the heavy leather armchairs by the fireplace, at the impressive art deco bar and with a view of the canals, you can enjoy oldschool Amsterdam to the full. Leonardo Di Caprio and his film "The Great Gatsby" inspired the bar to create a new cocktail collection with a touch of the "Golden Twenties", which is served here in gentlemanly style.

Le Bar des Bergues at the Four Seasons Hotel, Geneva

From the Bar des Bergues in Geneva, you can admire the imposing Jet d'Eau, and even Mont Blanc on a blue day. Behind the hotel bar, we find none other than Sophie Larrouture, who holds the title of "Best Bartender in Switzerland 2016". 

The Bar at The Merchant Hotel, Belfast

The Bar is located in the centre of Belfast, in the historic Cathedral Quarter. Ireland couldn't be more drinkable! The modern cocktails contrast perfectly with the traditional ambience. Special highlight: The wide selection of high-quality spirits! 

Z Bar at The Peninsula Hotel, Chicago

In 2018, the "Z Bar" opened on the roof terrace level of the renowned luxury hotel The Peninsula in the heart of downtown Chicago. High above Michigan Avenue, the experience bar promises not only a spectacular view of the skyline, but also outstanding drinks and cuisine: cocktails with gold leaf are served here as well as caviar.
