Beverly Hills Hotel<\/p><\/div>\n

Over the years this posh Los Angeles hotel<\/a> has played host to a constellation of celebrity couples, from Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. But you need not be an A-list star, or even a guest at all, to strut your stuff on the red carpet that lines the hotel\u2019s entryway.

Singapore Sling<\/p><\/div>\n

When you pull up a stool at Long Bar at Raffles Singapore<\/a> (reopening mid-2019), don\u2019t bother asking for a drink menu. Do yourself a favor and order the Singapore Sling. A Raffles bartender dreamed up the rose-colored cocktail back in 1915. Today, the concoction of gin, pineapple juice, lime juice, cura\u00e7ao, B\u00e9n\u00e9dictine, grenadine and cherry liqueur is hailed as the city-state’s signature drink.<\/p>\n

Have a sweet time in Beantown when you dig into the city\u2019s eponymous confection. As the story goes, around 1855 the hotel<\/a> chef drizzled chocolate icing onto custard-filled sponge cake… and the rest was history. Today, you can still enjoy Boston cream pie\u2014now the official dessert of Massachusetts\u2014in the hotel\u2019s Parker\u2019s Restaurant. Ask for table 40, where John F. Kennedy reportedly proposed to Jackie.<\/p>\n

\"Zurich,

Dolder Grand Zurich<\/p><\/div>\n

Attend a Rawther Fancy Tea Party<\/a> at the Palm Court, buy a souvenir in the Eloise Shop and tag @ThePlazaEloise on Instagram.
