This small Theater District hotel a few blocks from Union Square was built in the early 1900s for the Panama-Pacific Exposition. A boutique hotel with a lobby of marble columns, a black-and-white marble floor, and velvet armchairs, the Savoy exudes Parisian atmosphere. Comfortable rooms feature goose-down pillows, feather beds, and soundproof windows; the color scheme tends toward shades of red, taupe, and cream. Guests can mingle and enjoy complimentary wine and cheese in the afternoon, or visit Millennium, a gourmet, environmentally friendly vegetarian restaurant, for dinner.
