This modern-classic creation by Ian Schrager and Philippe Starck has a mahogany-rich lobby laced with African art. Once a boarding house for 'single gentlemen,' this landmark building has dark hallways, mid-size rooms with short, wide beds and soft, muted, pastel-hued furnishings. Some rooms have circular soaking tubs, while deluxe rooms feature a fireplace; there's a 24-hour fitness center to boot.
There's a daily facilities fee of $35, which includes wi-fi.
