"Before you order a cocktail at this sumptuous bar, you’ll have to decide where to sit: There are the tiger-print stools at the bar, the jewel-toned velvet couches, or the secret living room behind a bookcase, reserved just for hotel guests. Since the drinks veer very boozy, order a few bites for the table. You’ll want at least one order of the Pommes Marilou—crispy layered potatoes topped with crème fraîche and caviar." - Ann Shields
