It's kept its shine with regular refreshes over the years, including a recent top-to-bottom renovation. Okay, you've checked in; how are the rooms?The décor is classic—creams and beiges—with hits of teal, raspberry, and aubergine. In a recent renovation, designer J. Lee Rofkind paid homage to the hotel's history while adding modern touches: glass-topped desks and bedside control panels that turn off the lights or activate the blackout shades. What are the food options? If you want to stay in, can you order up?The star of the in-house dining options is Maison Boulud, Daniel Boulud's upscale spin on Mediterranean food. Get a seat next to the roaring fire in winter or, in summer, in the pretty garden out back. For room service, start your day with a green juice and finish it off with a club sandwich, Ritz-Carlton style—egg and avocado alongside the classic combo—and a fattoush salad. As you explore the hotel grounds, are there any hidden gems?Up on the roof, an indoor saltwater pool offers great views of the city.
