Belmond Hotels – Cocktails for Every Scene

Pandemic shut down has endured since mid-March and now in California many of us are on shut down inside due to extremely poor air quality from the devastating fires burning throughout our state.  Pandemics, Politics, Bad Air days…Locusts next or as a dear friend suggested maybe Godzilla! Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Over the weekend amid another day of locked in hibernation, I read, worked out, wrote blogs, glued petite travel treasures which had mysteriously broken, and by 4.30 pm, I succumbed to a cocktail in bed with chips and a massive pile of travel magazines! Posting the appalling cocktail hour on Instagram, wondering if it was a Mortal Sin to be in bed sipping before 5 pm…it was stunning to hear from so many of my urbane friends who had begun tippling earlier.

Belmond Hotels to the rescue with a list of perfect libations to remind us of their captivating hotels around the world! From city-chic hotspots to hidden garden oasis, Belmond has a pool for every style—and a cocktail to match every pool. Here are just five of our favorites. Belmond Cocktails for Every Scene.
