The Quin is an opulent, modern hotel with the bones of a grand old dame. In the 1920s it was the storied Buckingham, which hosted musicians and artists like Georgia O'Keefe and Marc Chagall. Today it keeps the artistic connection alive with rotating exhibitions from artists-in-residence and a 15ft video wall showcasing installations. Rooms are exceedingly comfortable and elegantly restrained.
Highlights include the custom-made, king-sized Duxiana beds and svelte marble bathrooms. Rooms can be linked together for families and those on the 17th floor all benefit from fabulous terraces. Hidden on the 2nd floor, seek out the wall of guitars painted by artists who have exhibited at the hotel.
