The Bar/Lounge at Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois

"Amenities: 24-hour Room Service, Bar/lounge, Gym View the entire Hot List of the travel world's most noteworthy debuts in 2007 ›"

"This 1844 grande dame on the banks of the Rhine reopened in 2006 following a 20-month renovation, and again became the most prominent address in town—the place to gossip over espressos on the riverfront terrace, to broker business deals in the firelit bar, to throw lavish dinner parties among the silver rose bowls and candelabras in the formal restaurant, Cheval Blanc"

"The bar has a wonderful terrace with Rhine river views in the summer and a fire in its fireplace on winter nights"

"The Brasserie proffers a stunning glass wall overlooking the river, and the Salon du Cigare puts a high-tech spin on an old-world lounge"

"Instead, most arrivals seek out the light-filled mezzanine lounge"

"Don’t miss the three-Michelin-starred restaurant serving vivacious Mediterranean-international cuisine, and drinks in the bar while a pianist with a penchant for tweed plays Handel and Bach"
