When you reach your hotel room at last and realize you\u2019re thirsty, here\u2019s the good news: The best bar in the neighbourhood, one the locals go to, is staying in the same hotel. What\u2019s it like? You might find a password-protected speakeasy<\/a>, a personalized cocktail class<\/a> or a curated collection of fine-aged rums. You can count on finding a hard-working bartender.<\/p>\n

Much like chefs, crafters of fine beverages have become stars in their own right, pairing talent with charm to spare. Here, we meet seven mixologists, plus one sommelier, who are elevating the drinking scene in their respective cities, and having a fine time doing so. You\u2019ll want to pull up a seat with each of them. (And once you\u2019ve imbibed, a\u00a0dreamy bed<\/a> is just steps away.)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
