Will Your Cocktail Selection Decide the Election?

by Olivia Falcione

Sep 9, 2016
When traveling or visiting a particular hotel or restaurant, I always like to try the brand’s signature dish or cocktail. When Global Traveler‘s editor in chief Kim Krol and I stayed at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, we learned that their Gin & Tonic is a must-try cocktail in the hotel bar.
Unfortunately for us, our business schedule only allowed for breakfast — non-boozy, that is. On my next trip I’m hoping to experience an Omni property where I can not only try one of their seven candidate-crafted cocktails but also be a part of predicting America’s next president. The hotel brand has launched the “Polling for Cocktails” campaign. Omni will be keeping an ongoing tally of the orders of their political party-themed cocktails to see if they can predict our new Commander in Chief!
Hilla-rita or Trump-tini, anyone? I’d have to say that this may be a bit more fun than going to the local polling place to cast a vote. If you can’t make it to an Omni property before Election Day, you can view the full menu list and learn how to make the cocktails yourself. The perfect signature drink for your very own polling party! Party Hashtag? #Drinkthevote

Corendon Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel Review

There are a few words that come to mind when the subject of airport hotels comes up. Usually, fun, cute and lively aren’t on that list. When general manager Evgeny Vreijling or his team members welcome guests, they insist Corendon Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is not an airport hotel but a hotel that happens to be near the airport. He also emphasizes that, while Amsterdam is regarded as the gateway to Europe, the hotel was designed to be a gateway to the rest of the Netherlands.
