This recently opened boutique hotel is luxurious, sophisticated and chic. With interiors by famed designer David Collins, the space has been updated with quietly contemporary and glamorous furnishings, artwork and luxury touches like Waterworks bathrooms, Egyptian cotton linens, iPod docking stations and flat-screen TVs. The hotel is the location of British star chef Gordon Ramsey’s first U.S. restaurant, which serves outrageously delicious takes on French-influenced contemporary cuisine (think lobster ravioli with celery root cream and shellfish vinaigrette.) The property also boasts a concierge desk manned by Quintessentially, the renowned international service that can handle requests for anything from a private jet to tickets to the city’s hottest show.
