Around the globe, certain hotel bars have become destinations in their own right. You can’t pass by a St. Regis without popping in to try a Bloody Mary (every property around the globe has its own version), nor can you miss sipping on a Singapore Sling at Raffles.
Now, Forbes Travel Guide is elevating even more watering holes to the “must-visit” category with the release of its second annual Hotel Star Bars.
Spanning 18 countries, 37 bars were selected to join the prestigious list – including 13 from Europe.
Hotel bars were chosen after visits from anonymous inspectors who evaluated the beverage programme, service, and overall guest experience.
This year, Shanghai and Tokyo led the list with three winners each.
