The Bar/Lounge at New York Hilton Midtown

"A monumental $180 million was spent at this hotel on a master-plan renovation resulting in a sleek metal-and-stone façade, a reconfigured marble lobby with a seven-foot-tall bronze sculpture and new dining and lounge venues"

"When not busy, the hotel is known for offering discounts to access the club lounge facilities, and it is always wise to ask, although Hilton's most loyal guests enjoy it free of charge"
