Interesting book for nationwide traveller

A fun read and will direct you to interesting places of some historical signifigance in major cities around the country.

Share the Pleasure

This book is delightful. The introductions to the charming hotels alone are worth the price. However, my husband and I have particularly enjoyed the variety and fun in making the wonderful signature cocktail recipes. This is a terrific book for anyone into quality nostalgia. We received it as a gift, and now we share the fun by giving it to others.

For those of us who enjoy sophisticated surroundings...

In today's world, where Cadillac advertisements proudly portray their cars as loud and obnoxious, and television slams viewers with excessive visual stimuli.... it is nice to find that not all has become loud, obnoxious and hyperactive. I have already enjoyed visiting several of these superb hotel bars and look forward to meeting friends at others featured in your book. I highly recommend this book to those who appreciate finer things. Thank you, Mr. Connors and Ms. McConnell - well done !!

Makes me want to visit each Hotel!

I have so enjoyed this book that I have decided my new hobbie will be to visit each of the bars mentioned. The pictures, new and old, capture the essence of each Hotel and the recipes are easy to follow and look good enough to drink! I have given this as a gift that has been warmly received many times.
