NoMI

If your idea of winding down from the day involves 12-year single malt, a Montecristo cigar and rubbing elbows with international businessmen, you’ll find all three on the seventh-floor patio lounge of this Park Hyatt stunner. It’s breezy, sexy and substantial (sushi and small plates abound), but it sure ain’t cheap, honey, so pack that Amex black.
