When you enter the Mandarín Oriental Hotel you're hit with an overdose of Kubrickian symmetry – straight lines and retrofuturistic lights stretch out to the lobby and lead you to Banker's Bar, a refuge for gourmet drinkers, decorated with exquisite taste. Elegant, warm, sensual, and with a ceiling made of safes, this space with sober, metallic tones often offers informal food pairings from some of the best chefs on the planet, and the cocktails on offer are out of this world. The creative cocktails are poetic and breathe life into a parade of delights the chef whips up, including tuna ceviche, beef nigiris, 'tiraditos', makis, 'butichifas' and more.
