"A 1930 Upper East Side legend known for its enduring nightlife and cultural cachet: the long-running Café Carlyle has hosted performers since 1955, while the Bemelmans Bar features large-scale murals by Ludwig Bemelmans and nightly live jazz (plus a seasonal Madeline tea). Guests enjoy art-deco–tinged rooms—many with Central Park views—Alexandra Champalimaud–designed interiors, and an urban spa offering indulgent Sisley-Paris treatments." - Mary Holland
