Originally opened as a residential hotel in 1928, this Midtown Manhattan property has retained its sense of history while remaining current, thanks to its modern amenities and services. The public spaces feature traditional chandeliers, potted flowers, contemporary furnishings and a small library in the lobby, while guest rooms have a Europeanstyle decor and marble-clad bathrooms. Murals on 54, the in-house, Continental cuisine restaurant, is a great choice for dinner, followed by a nightcap at Randolph’s Bar, named for the hotel’s builder, William Randolph Hearst.
