"POV, the open-air bar at the W Washington D.C. , offers a fantastic view of the White House—the only way to get a better one would be to schedule a tour with your Member of Congress. In 2019, this popular spot got a makeover as part of the hotel's $50 million renovation, adding new murals, Metro-inspired design accents, and floor-to-ceiling retractable glass windows for Washington Monument selfies all-year-round. The W also turned to Amsterdam-based Cocktail Professor to devise a new menu of drinks. That includes $22 signature cocktails with theatrical presentations (like the " Bi-partisan ," featuring two bubbly drinks, one red and one blue, balanced on a scale). POV is popular for a reason: this view is a stunner, and the rooftop lounge is more stylish than your average tourist spot." - Adele Chapin
