Sitting under the stained-glass dome with a champagne cocktail felt like stepping into a film. Pricey, but the room and the service make it absolutely worth it for a special occasion.

You come here for the history and the setting, and on that it delivers completely. Classic cocktails are beautifully made; just know you are paying for one of the most famous lobbies in the world.
