This sleek, modern “ice” environment may just transform how travelers think of airport bars. HMSHost’s ICE Dishes and Drinks creates a unique vibe within the airport for guests to unwind and enjoy a cocktail before boarding a flight. The cool tones and the lounge’s design reflect its contemporary setting and its name. Once travelers step inside, they find themselves ensconced in a setting so inviting that they forget they are in an airport.
ICE’s sophisticated dishes create the perfect pairing with a cocktail. For diners, an all-day menu of tapas, tartines and salads complements the drink offerings. Selections include the Mediterranean vegetable sampler, charcuterie, artisan cheese plate, beefsteak tomato salad, fresh berries and more to satisfy any appetite.
A distinguishing element of the bar is its bottle display featuring a selection of 26 vodkas, including organic, wheat, grain, rye and grape. Various textures of ice are used to accentuate the flavors of drinks, incorporating shaved, cubed, blocked, and more, depending upon the beverage. Customers can also choose among a variety of wines by the glass or bottle, bubbly, spirits, and beer.
ICE’s design is just what the name implies—ice-inspired, and all aspects of the bar incorporate elements of this theme. The coolness of the design creates a calming environment for travelers to relax within.
