"Discreetly tucked away on the Upper East Side, this family-run, independently owned gem has drawn celebrity clientele since the 1920s (think Stella McCartney, Pamela Anderson, and Ali MacGraw). With just 74 rooms and suites—many boasting wood-burning fireplaces and private terraces—it delivers privacy, tradition, and refined luxury, all within a five-minute drive of The Met." - Nicole Kliest, Christina Liao
