This year, the prestigious title of Best U.S. Hotel Bar was awarded to one local hotspot: ViceVersa Miami.<\/p>\n This is the bar\u2019s second time being nominated at the Spirted Awards<\/a>, following last year\u2019s top 4 finalist nomination for Best New U.S. Cocktail Bar.

Inside the 60-seat emerald green space, you can expect raw bar selections, salads, pizza and other modern Italian bites, in addition to expertly crafted cocktails like Negronis and its signature Mi-To dolce amaro blend.<\/p>\n How Spirited Awards winners are chosen<\/p>\n Honorees for the annual awards are selected through a multi-step process using a global panel of over 250 industry experts, led by Tiffanie Barriere and Ryan Chetiyawardana, the U.S. & International Spirited Awards Chairs. Nominations are not based on popular vote, and all are evaluated by their respective judging committees to ensure each vote carries equal weight in the process.<\/p>\n What to know before you go<\/p>\n Ready to check out the best hotel bar in the country?
