The Bar at Century Plaza

For the nights you'd like to treat yourself to a well-made drink, head to the Bar at Century Plaza, the historic 1966 hotel's newly renovated open air lobby bar with floor-to-ceiling windows, live music in the early evenings and a whimsical cocktail menu inspired both by the hotel's storied past, including brushes with musical greats like Sonny and Cher and Aretha Franklin, and its contemporary, more globalized present. Lost among the all the drinks? The bar's gorgeously designed menu booklet includes a record-shaped circular guide on its final pages to help you steer your order based on which way your musical tastes lean.
