Travel + Leisure says...
"1905 Beaux-Arts edifice a few blocks from Central Park with a glamorous old-school entrance, an Alexandra Champalimaud-designed spa by Espa, and a newly upgraded rooftop bar. Rooms to Book: Ask for larger Grand Luxes that overlook Fifth Avenue. Insider Tip: Opt for the western terrace of the newly re-opened rooftop bar, Salon de Ning, for a view of MoMA's sculpture garden from your Chinese-style day bed. Of the same vintage as the neighboring St. Regis (both hotels were built between 1904 and 1905), the Peninsula has retained its decorative Beaux-Arts façade—but inside, old-world grandeur meets streamlined modernity. A crystal chandelier dangles in the lobby, illuminating dark-cherry and Carpathian-elm burl woodwork with Art Nouveau carvings; Oriental carpets are spread over white marble floors. The 239 rooms feature sleek chaises, Roman shades, lacquered armoires, mahogany headboards, and goose-feather duvets—as well as high-tech touches like bathroom flat-screen TV's (might as well keep up with the financial news while you're soaking in the tub). Afternoon tea service in the Gotham Lounge is a characteristically civilized affair, while the rooftop bar, formerly known as the Pen-Top, is one of the city's hottest spots for a drink." -From www.travelandleisure.com
