"GO HERE: for the ‘gram. Wander into the swanky, velvet-lined lobby for a sight, we’ll admit, more stunning that 1 World Trade. GKV Architects and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio transformed the sleepy office building into a golden-hued, 287-room hotel, connected by inner balconies that make the atrium the focal point. Come for the sun-drenched space, but stay for the star-studded hotel restaurants—Tom Colicchio’s veg-forward Temple Court and Keith McNally’s French bistro-like Augustine—and a very good night's sleep. THE VIBE IS: a little nutty, but the masters of New York City hospitality got you. The restaurants can fill up quickly at prime time with tourists and bankers, but just put your name down at either of the restaurants, then hit up the bar in that stunning lobby for liquid destressing supplied by Temple Court. PRACTICAL STUFF: Rates start at $350. —Elyse Inamine" - Condé Nast
