  • Alila

  • Andaz

  • Hyatt Centric

  • Thompson Hotels

  • The Unbound Collection

✨ Try This: At Bar 54 in Hyatt Centric Times Square, sip a basil, cucumber, and lime delight made with zero-proof gin. Or visit Thompson Savannah for a blueberry, honey, and rum-free refresher.

🍸 Tempo by Hilton – “Free-Spirited” Cocktails
