Émilie Bar & Lounge at Hotel Landy Universal Blvd

Émilie Bar & Lounge isn’t your typical lobby lounge. The signature restaurant at Hotel Landy is named for Émilie Du Châtelet, a French mathematician whose work paved the way for one of my favorite inventions: the roller coaster. Sip on handcrafted beverages inspired by perpetual motion, like the rum-based Boomerang, sweet and spicy Vitesse, or bourbon-forward Levity — served smoking, of course. You’ll also find a selection of wine, beer, small plates and entrees to keep the business momentum going well after the trade show floor closes.
