The issue is that a “martini” in America is a different drink from a martini anywhere else in the world (even ignoring the Italian martini bottle). Martinis outside of the US do contain actual volumes of vermouth, so Americans travelling overseas are best either specifying just a drop of vermouth or ordering a frozen shaken shot of vodka.

Anyways, that went a bit off topic Have been reading this thread to see whether the hotel is worth a try in its new Luxury Collection format.
