10 NYC Hotel Bars You Must Try

We're equal-opportunity drinkers, and if we want to grab a drink at a hotel in the city, nothing's gonna stop us. And, we mean it because you don't have to book a room to take advantage of a hotel's bar. Speciality cocktails, light bites, amazing cityscapes, and even pools can be yours — all without having to swipe an access card.

So, with the help of Moët & Chandon, we created a handy guide to the best hotel bars around the city where you can get your drink on even if you didn't reserve a one-night stay. From a bar with amazing views of the Hudson and The High Line to one with an impressive collection of books, these haunts will have you thinking twice about hitting up your local joint tonight. Start planning your night now.

Hit up the 29th floor of Viceroy New York and feel free to shout, “I’m on a boat!” Well, technically, there’s no water, but that’s exactly how you’ll feel amid the walnut and leather interiors, brass detailing, and a gallery of sea and sky photographs. This luxe locale is new to the city’s bar scene — it opened in March — but it's already as beloved as a legendary go-to. A platter of grilled-cheese bites, a glass of bubbly, and panoramic views of Central Park? See you there.
