Sip & Stay — Toast to Excellence at These Hotel Bars
The Don CeSar St. Pete's Beach, FL
Originally opened in 1928, this iconic hotel has been a top destination for those looking for a luxurious stay on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Though the building may date back to the Gatsby era, the hotel has recently been fully renovated to refresh the 277 rooms as well as other amenities and dining options. The guest rooms artfully combine beachy whimsy and classic elegance, with blush tones, tropical graphics, and wicker accents perfectly complemented by art-deco-inspired gold lighting fixtures, plush linens, and stunning views. Head out for a day of relaxation on the private beach, lounge by the heated pools, or rent a WaveRunners, kayak or paddle board if you’re feeling adventurous. Indulge in a beach-inspired cocktail at the brand-new Beacon Pool Bar & Lookout while you soak in the stunning sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico.

A multi-million dollar renovation has brought the interiors up to date, offering the elegance of a bygone era with a fresh attitude and amenities. The 761 guest rooms offer guests a serene retreat, adorned with tufted headboards and design touches that nod to the city's cultural landmarks. Head down for Happy Hour at the elegant Park Lounge Bar before heading out for a night on the town. With a location across from the legendary Carnegie Hall and just steps away from Central Park, you’re perfectly positioned to take on the Big Apple.
London's Shoreditch neighborhood is famed for its creativity and taste, and One Hundred Shoreditch is certainly a standout addition to the city's thriving hospitality scene. There are plenty of places to get a good drink at the hotel, from The Rooftop overlooking East London to the stylish Lobby Bar, which doubles as the hotel’s living room serving beer, wine, cocktails, and Neapolitan pizzas. But the crown jewel here is the hotel’s basement bar, Seed Library, from Ryan Chetiyawardana, where DJs spin on weekends and classic cocktails get a twist from interesting, alternative flavor sources.
Conveniently nestled in the heart of Midtown, The Kimberly Hotel offers guests an authentic New York City experience. With spacious suites that rival the size of most city apartments, this hotel provides a unique alternative to the typical chain hotels in the area. The Kimberly Hotel gives off a grand, European vibe from the moment you step in, with a beautiful marble lobby and a spectacular saltwater aquarium. A handwritten note of thanks from President Jimmy Carter displayed at the front desk lets you know that this hotel is serious about taking care of its guests. Steps away from iconic attractions like Central Park and Rockefeller Center, it's a pied-à-terre for the discerning traveler. Enjoy stunning city views from the rooftop bar, indulge in Italian cuisine at Bistango, or unwind in style with feather beds and L’Occitane amenities.
