Find Great Local Bars by Talking to the Hotel Bartender
You are visiting a new city and want to find a good bar where you can have a decent drink. Where will you go first? Close the Yelp app and, of course, go to the hotel bar. That’s why.
Some hotel bars are destinations in their own right, but there is another reason to have a drink as soon as you check in. Just as you can trust a chef to tell you that you are good local restaurants, you can trust the bartender. to find out all about the local bars. This is why Camilla Ralph Vidal, global brand ambassador for St-Germain, tells the New York Times that she is reaching out to them for suggestions.
So when you arrive at the hotel, check in, drop your luggage and get rid of the jet lag with a drink at the bar. Ask them if they know what is good nearby (especially if it’s within walking distance) and find out what their favorite vacation spot is. Like Vidal, you can just bump into them there and you already have a friend with whom you can share the good times.
