The NoMad Hotel's Library Bar is anything but bookish. Jacques Garcia, of Paris' L'Hotel fame, designed the interiors of this smart cocktail den and the adjoining NoMad restaurant. Walk through the dining room (it's a little awkward, yes, but the staff will guide you along) to reach the bar in the back. Though the leather-bound cocktail list and glamorous dark wood tables present a strong argument towards the formal, the atmosphere at The Library Bar is surprisingly relaxed and welcoming. Skilled bartenders are happy to make recommendations and pour a variety of classics and house creations.

- Lounges: "Take this opportunity to order from the NoMad's stellar menu."
- Best for Hotel Bars Because: The Library Bar will make you feel like you've stepped back in time to a more dignified era.
- Best for Lounges Because: It elevates the concept of a hotel bar, giving the best cocktail lounge a run for its money.
