The hotel bar has been given the inaugural title for its refined hospitality and inspired concoctions
Since Manhattan opened its doors in 2014, it has been the go-to hotel bar for stellar hospitality and creative tipples inspired by the golden age of cocktails in Manhattan. It didn’t go unnoticed in the bar community as it garnered accolade after accolade including the No. 2 spot at the Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2019 list, and the top spot at the awarding body’s 2018 and 2017 ranking.
This year, ahead of the announcement of the 2020 list via a digital ceremony on May 14, the awarding body has revealed that Manhattan earned the Michter’s Art of Hospitality Award 2020. The winner was chosen by the 230-strong Academy, who nominated an establishment that provided the best hospitality in the past 18 months.
“We are pleased to recognise Manhattan’s continuous dedication to hospitality and ever-increasing efforts to offer perfect service,” said Mark Sansom, the content director for Asia’s 50 Best Bars, in a statement. In addition, the award showed due recognition to an important component in any bar experience.
