Night on the town

While hotel bars used to have a rather dusty image, most of them have joined the ranks of the most popular hotspots for night owls and cocktail lovers – especially in big cities like Berlin, Vienna, Paris and Milan. No wonder, their exclusive, stylish and homey atmosphere, spiced with local charm and global influences is equally appealing to locals and visitors alike.

In addition, more and more hotels rely on the most talented bartenders and a select, unique menu. It's not uncommon for history to be made in hotel bars thanks to the latest creations and regional ingredients.

Most large hotel bars shine with a unique and stylish interior design. Whether it's bold colors and shapes, elaborate pictures and plants, or minimalist, straightforward furnishings, hotels speak their very own interior language. 

Another advantage: you might just be able to get a room and crash for the night, provided it's not fully booked. Who doesn't love convenience, especially when it's done in so much style?
