With incredible designer interiors and glamorous settings, these exceptional hotel bars provide some of the world's most stylish and sophisticated drinking addresses.
Ayana Resort & Spa's Rock Bar, Bali
Drinking at Ayana Resort & Spa's Rock Bar in Bali is a dramatic experience.
Guests access the waterfront bar, which is positioned at the bottom of a cliff face, by cable car and can hear the waves crash once settled at their tables.
Visiting at dusk is recommended as sunsets are often spectacular.
Beaufort Bar, Savoy Hotel, London
The Savoy Hotel in London was instrumental in developing the cocktail — you can read about the history of that enduringly popular beverage here — and as a result its long-standing American Bar continues to draw crowds.
More appealing, however, is the hotel's newer Beaufort Bar. Dramatically decorated in black and burnished gold, the venue specialises in cocktails and rare champagnes, and cabaret and music performances are often held in the intimate space.
La Purificadora, Puebla, Mexico
The bar at La Purificadora hotel in Puebla, Mexico, does its best to cater to as many customer desires as possible.
It's on the roof; it's open air; there's a nice view of historic buildings; it was designed by Ricardo Legorreta, one of Mexico's most famed architects; and, of course, it flanks a glass-walled swimming pool ideal for guests who fancy a dip between rounds.
