The Bar/Lounge at The Starling Atlanta Midtown, Curio Collection by Hilton

"If you want to feel like a VIP, skip the Whiskey Park bar and look for Hidden Lounge, which is literally tucked away under the stairs"

"Even the hip Whiskey Park bar on-site (a branch of the Gerber Group) maintains a cool, sophisticated vibe without being too pretentious"

""A great place to be in the scene" and for "mingling" in Ansley Park, this "trendy", "upscale" hotel exudes a "modern, cool" vibe, from its "top-notch" Whiskey Park bar (hotel guests can skip the line) and Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant to its signature Bliss spa; opinions on service range from "extremely friendly" to "apathetic", but the "comfortable and high-tech" rooms and suites with "terrific" views from the floor-to-ceiling windows lead many to label it a "sweet" spot for a "short stay"

"On weekend evenings, an exclusive bar, Whiskey Park (one of the Gerber Group's many lounges for the W brand), is added to the amenities"

"Each afternoon, the lounge begins its transformation into a lively bar scene, with pretty twenty- and thirtysomethings firing up the party pistons"
