hotel bars
Guest drinking spots
Hotel bars are drinking establishments located within hotels, typically in the lobby or adjacent to it.
They occupy a distinct social niche—serving as neutral meeting grounds for business conversations, spots for travelers killing time, and venues where locals mingle with visitors.
The atmosphere tends toward the anonymous and transactional: We grabbed drinks at the hotel bar before dinner.
Some hotel bars achieve destination status in their own right, known for signature cocktails or storied histories.
